The FZS 6 on the other hand was a bloody well selling bike throughout its entire life time, was still selling well before it was forced out by the FZ6 due to emissions laws!
I think at the time Honda was winning everything which is why the cbr won sales, I was quite surprised when I read earlier this year there was only 2000 thundercats left in the uk.
Funnily I always found 2nd hand parts more valuable for the fazer than the cat
Some say...
