Immaculate FZS 600 for sale

[Fred Trevelyan]

Hello,  This could be a very long story - but I KNOW I can 'go-on' too much, so here we go!! :  It involves a dad (me) returning to biking after may years - when his son got his first 'big-bike'.  Son now rides a Harley and doesn't ask dad to go along much :-(  In 2011 I went looking for a nice Fazer - but found an IMMACULATE one.  That would have been good - but it was so good that I have felt that IT DESERVED to only go out on the nicest, sunniest days. In consequence I have only added 800 miles to the clock (and found myself riding miles on my son's 'old' Bandit (sorry!!) at weekends. So the Fazer is for sale now: As I say, it is immaculate (there can be very few as good out there) and I would like it to go to someone who 'loves' Fazers if possible. It is a 1999 Gold coloured FZS 600 (with colour matched belly pan fitted when new). It has now done 5,800 miles.  Last year I had matched MIchelin Pilot Road3 tyres fitted (only as originals were then 13 years old).  LIkewise I had new brake pads fitted. At the same time a black hugger was put on (I have the chain guard that was taken off of course) and a new battery.  This is going on isn't it?! I had it MoT'd last week and cleaned it yesterday.  It is an very original bike that is in 'showroom' condition and has lead a cosseted life - I did not even polish it before taking photos - just to show how good it is!!  I also got a 'comfort' seat made for it (but didn't find it necessary for the distances I rode it). Anyway - that is the good bit!!  Price?  I had to have it when I saw it and paid a good price to get it.  It 'owes' me well over £3,000 - and I have hardly ridden it.  It's condition must make it VERY rare and I want £2,700 for it (SEE BELOW!!). I know that is a lot and know I may not get it - but I am not in any rush to sell it.  Now, do you, or a friend want a great early Fazer and would be serious about maybe buying this one?  If no one is interested I will put it into MCN in a week or two.  I have lots of photos from yesterday - and when my son comes home I might even be able to upload them!!!  Fred Trevelyan 07873 418210

ADDENDUM!! Cor blimey - I really am rubbish at this aren't I?!  Thanks for all your help everyone.  I still have lots of photos that (as they are large in terms of storage) I can't attach. I have had a look at other ads for Fazers - and although mine is exceptional perhaps I am being a bit ambitious with the price.  I would like this bike to be ridden off by someone who appreciates it as a great Fazer (my nephew has asked about it but I would not like to see it 'wasted' on him - he just wants 'a bike'). I would take £2500 to see it go to a FOC member (but would not be open to any offers at that price).  I live in EXeter.  Cheers again, Fred
