If so the gen1 carb has more spm's
(smiles per mile!)
I like the thought of fuel injection, the sealed system, no carb balancing, less issues after winter storage since im a fair weather guy.
Plus i like that the gen2 is sports orientated as i dont tour or carry pillions....it is closer to a sports bike.
& they are of course newer with more modern technology.
But gotta be honest im not too keen on the gen 2 looks.
Fazer 8 somehow looks better than the thou imo although how that could be im not sure as i thought they were almost the same apart from engine size, maybe i've just seen better colour schemes on the 8 or somethin...but with it being a slow seller then future parts is a small issue.
But ye the old fazer 6 is good, just a bit old & i suppose mine lost its appeal after being crashed as it is a bit scabby round the edges....but as a package it is great.
I wanna wait see after ive been out on it again this summer, it's always the same...always want something better when im not riding but then i get back on the saddle & i fall back in love with it.....the difference between looking at bikes & riding them.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
