Hi everyone. Just a quick post to introduce myself to what looks like a very useful site!
I have only just started out on Fazer ownership but have had bikes since passing my test in 1999. I was offered the chance of a good condition 2000 model from a mate at work and within about 3 days, I had the bike home in the garage...
It's currently off the road, but only as the previous owner has had it sitting for a couple of years and let all the paperwork lapse. It needs a wee tidy up (but not much at all), MoT'd and taxed and we should be good to go with a wee fun winter / commuting bike. Everything seems in good order with the bike, no bodywork issues and the rest of it including the fasteners are all in much better condition than I had expected. It's not the best colour being the gold and black, but it's growing on me already!
I've stuck a new battery in and it's running fine, it needs a wee overhaul of the rear brake and for some reason it's sporting a Euro spec headlight so I'm on the lookout for a UK spec one to get it ready for the MoT. Other than that, I'm looking forward to taking it out for a good run!
Cheers.
Andy
