This is the issue, I haven't decided.
I keep going back and forth
Each reply so far is valid, but I still don't know which road to take.
I do however agree with this statement,
Many thanks for the offer of the Gen 1 try out, unfortunately am working all W/End, damn. Had a ride of a naked Gen 2, back in 07, if memory serves, engine was q good, but as much as I like Naked bikes, I think fairings are more practical for me. I should really organise another ride on one. Would you say Gen 1 over Gen 2?
The new 600, post 07, could be a strong contender if it's v like mine, but better, again, hope to ride one poss Friday or following week.
Keeping mine, it does make sense, I like it, so it would appear a no brainer, but the saying if it ain't broke...unfortunately it kind of is.
Needs new bars, new Throttle Position Sensor, Exhaust is leaking, front forks are in poor shape, fairings cracked & further cosmetic damage, apart from that, she's peachy
I've been looking at prices, I'm comfortable with spending £2k, less comfortable at £3k, but would get me FZS S2 600, and really don't want to be @ £4k, but if did could buy FZ1 or Fazer8.
I was staying away from Gen 1 1000 due to Carb Icing (hence Fuel Injection choices) ...is that an issue on the 1000?
