Good advice here. I've had a 600 foxeye and 2 Gen 1 Fazer thou's.
The 800 is a good compromise, but you have to take a really decent test ride before you decide. Unfortunately there are not too many second hand Fazer 8s around. 6.3 is a good price for new (when they first came out they were 9k) but it will not have adjustable suspension for that price. You will also take a hit when selling if you buy new, but at 6.3K that is pretty good.
I reckon if you take a test ride and it puts a grin on your face, sell the other 2 and get the Fazer8. Pity it's not the best colour (White with Gold wheels)...that reminds me, I saw a good buy recently, on MCN I think, black, low mileage and unusually, the owner had bought new gold wheels, it looked really good.
Right, off to polish mi wheels now, (and clean the chain having read the other thread :o )

If you want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans.
