The fazer is my first bike. I understand it's quite heavy and powerful as a first bike but it did seem like a good choice and I still don't regret it. I have clocked up 700 miles or so since I passed my test in Jan but I definitely need to do some low speed. Manoeuvring in a car park, read up on cornering, watch twist of the wrist all the way through and get some pro guidance too.
Thanks ladsĀ
Glad you're smiling simon,
out of curiosity, if you passed in Jan then did you do the Mod1/Mod 2, how did you get on with all the slow stuff?, i mean you passed it, figure of 8,swerve test, u turn etc.did you find it easy in the end? if so then maybe you could approach the same school,(or a different one) to ask if you can spend half a day with them on your Fazer to alleviate a few of your fears, heck leave the fairing all busted up & stuff so you're not worrying about a slow speed spill too much in that controlled environment or damaging a bike thats only just been repaired.
I still practice the odd u turns without putting my feet down even though its easy to get lazy & not bother & i quite fancy going somewhere to do like a mini obstacle course just for fun really & learn the Fazers characteristics
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
