It all depends how people view the fazer, i view it as a very desirable bike and as such i've absolutely no inclination to ride it in all weathers, its not because i'm a gremlin that multiplies when i get water on myself but mostly because from what i've seen they dont seem to hold up to well to those conditions & my bikes in such good nick it'd be a shame to spoil it.
Some folks can afford 10k for the latest fancy dream bike so to them the fazer may just be a winter hack, to rust and get filthy but in my eyes my fazer is my dream bike so i'd rather get an old Honda as a winter, wet bike as there's a few Hondas that seem to handle the abuse a bit better, i'll keep the fazer for the summer fun, not necessarily all polished up & never used, just spared from the worst the British Isles have to offer it.
I dont quite care if it is declared a classic or not but it would be nice in future to meet some appreciators of a very nice, old bike,probably ex focers wishing they hadnt bought that 10k GS & wondering where their old faithful ended up :b

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
