thank you all for the great feedback. I'm going to stick to looking at the FZS carb'ed Fazers, and try to test ride one of each next weekend (I've found a dealer not that far away that has both - if he'll agree to me taking them out). But I know from a short test ride I'm not going to push the bikes (don't want to drop them) so not get a full picture of their capabilities. I was wondering if size or age (of the rider, not the bikes!) have an influence? I'm mid-40s, 5'8" and slim(ish). Any ideas of how long I could keep riding a thou' before it became too much?! Also, in terms of getting into and out of corners, is one far better than the other, or it it a matter of technque and experience? Any other feedback gratefully received. In the meantime, my Fazer hunt continues!
