Hi all...
Blimey the forum has changed again.... go for a year or two and everything changes....
As some of you know I've been around for about 11 years... initially as a Hornet owning wannabe Foccer and then later I had a 2007 FZ1-N (great bike).
I now have a 2009 CB1000R but want something with a bit of wind protection for motorway use and a bit of european touring this year.
Now I know all about the FZ1 and found it super powerful but also very revvy, alot of the power was lost until you go in the higher revs. How does the Fazer 800 compare engine wise? I'm also about 6' tall, is the screen very effective on motorways.
Any moans, groans or issues, I've not really followed the Fazer 8 so I have no idea how it stands up against the competition.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
