Hi all. Didn't think I'd be typing on another owners forum anytime soon being so happy with my TDM900. BUT, seen the 2013 grey n blue Fazer 800 on a show platform in a shop n was blown away by its looks... Today got to sit on one n felt quite at home. Can't think of owt I didn't like at least stationary on a shop floor! Was there to testride the MT09 which I did (nice!), but really wanted a go on a Fazer. Trouble is no demos to try... :-( Till that day what do ya think the engine we be like compared to how my TDM goes. My 9er has some nice get up n go early early off the throttle with a very linear power feed without the need to step down on the cogbox to get a move on/overtakes, etc. Back streets n lanes are all fun on the TDM... Will I find the inline four of the Fazer a bit dull? Will I be constantly be twidling me thumbs waiting for the power to come on song? Whats the character like? (if it has any) Not a talented racer or owt but ain't been on a four since I had a Thundercat bout 12 years ago so interested on peeps thoughts meanwhile before I find a steed to test... ;-)
