A Fazer Will Never be a Classic!

[red98]

Look at the 3 examples given of bikes that were thought would never be classics and arguably are now

Suzuki x7



Honda ss50



Yamaha fs1e



All small low capacity bikes that people probably started on and then moved up in cc and forgot about, and because they were cheap probably parked up in the back of a shed and were forgotten about only to be discovered 20 years later when the people who started on them decide that they want to rebuild them and relive their early biking days and it would probably cost feck all to do. Can a fazer 600 fit into that category? I don't think so they're too practical, they work too well as an every day bike to be parked up. Also if you park up a fazer in your average sized shed/garage you'd be falling over it because it's a good sized 600 so I think what saved those bikes won't save the fazer. I could see a few die hard fans keeping them in mint condition but that's not what a fazer is all about, it's a go anywhere work horse. I hope they do last because I love them but I can't see it happening.

great pictures dude...wish my x7 looked like that  :o [size=78%]..........ok i understand what your trying to say,how about we all carry on using them and looking after them..improving as we go...mines an early one ,15 years old now and a long way off a full blown restoration,just a nice clean standard bike thats not been tarted up or resprayed just looked after....if i was to restore it to new it would ruin it.....but if i keep using it and looking after it with parhaps a few small repairs on the way in some ways it would be better than a fully restored one still showing a bit of history......the fact that its a budget bike will put off the collectors but not me........defo a future classic[/size]
[size=78%]      keep an eye on early r1`s........thats another one [/size]
