2003 FZS600 Fazer For Sale

[bikeownerus]

Hi,


It is with a heavy heart, but my faithful Fazer 600 should probably go to a another home .....?


First the spec, then the history

• Fazer FZS600 registered June'03 - Red
  
• I am 2nd owner
  
• I acquired Jan'08 as the 'perfect' 2nd hand purchase in Jan'08 with 5500 miles on the clock
  
• It now has 26500 miles on the clock
  
• Very good recent tyres
  
• Aftermarket silencer with original as spare
  
• META alarm system with spare fob + 'magic' number
  
• KN air filter
  
• 'Fancy' (expensive?) plugs
  
• Rad cover
  
• Spare key
  
• Spare seat - with small tear
  
• Seat on bike also has a tiny tear which is 'patched'
  
• Recent replacement battery (gel)
  
• Currently on SORN
  
• Will come with full 12 months MOT
  

I bought this as an immaculate low mileage example which had been used by a lovely old guy only when the temperature was above 20C.
Nonetheless he had it serviced regardless of mileage.
I bought it as a practical work machine and used it from March'08 to March'12 as such - doing about 50 gentle miles a day - predominantly A roads.
I have done all servicing myself changing oil and filter very regularly. I have also done the fork oil and balanced the carbs a few times.
I have had the down pipes off a couple of times and painted and sprayed them - they are totally solid but it's an engineers job rather than an immaculate finish!
The bike has never ever let me down - if I had to ride to Portugal tomorrow (I wish), I would bet my mortgage it would get there with zero issues.
The bike is very clean and genuine but not showroom immaculate.
I am a gentle old fart of a rider - I have too much mechanical sympathy and insufficient nerve to get any where near a 'wheelie'.
It is still on original chain and sprox and these have loads of life left ...... sorry!


Why am I facing the inevitable and reluctantly selling it .....?

• I have changed job and no longer do a bike based commute
  
• I inadvertently bought a TRX850 off e-bay and this is now my high days and holidays 'toy' (I would not trust this to get me to Portugal yet!)
  
• I want something to tinker with - the TRX is a tinkerers delight - the Fazer is boringly reliable!
  

I don't need to sell but it's sitting in my garage as an under utilised asset.


Looking for £1700 - does that sound fair?
