Joe you Devil, :evil :evil :evil




I've almost saved enough for one. 8)






I'll have another season on the noggyfighter & see how i feel after that i reckon.it's still a good bike really.....nit sure id enjoy being a lurker but hey i can always go on Christo's whatever else you got thread

For sure the Fazers a good bike, but personally when I ride I want something that excites me, and the Fazer just isn't powerful enough to do that! Not that I'm an adrenaline junky at all  :lol
What Blade are you thinking of going for?

954 seems refuted as the best so ideally id have one o them but i prefer the looks of the 918 & it is more in my budget, it looks much more retro which i like but i'd be staying with carbs with an old one.918 is supposedly comfier too which is good since im 6 foot.




My best plan seems to be to keep my fazer & have a blade....if i find in time that i prefer the fazer then i can go back to it & easily sell the blade on but prices are so low for old 600 fazers that it barely seems worthwhile trying to sell it.i know my old man would appreciate a spare bike for when he comes visiting me in Wales, show him some of those nice mid wales twisties. 8)






One more point though which is important.....well to some anyway.....the fazer is always the underdog & you'll never be embarrassed on it....i mean so what if a brand new GSXR 1000 smokes you....it should....but the fazer can still keep with allot of sportsbikes on the roads, especially if ridden by posers which is a good feeling on a budget bike.......on a fireblade or an R1 then you are expected to perform & will be the benchmark for Mr pub bloke saying "oh ye i kept up with a fireblade today" so the pressure is on.






It's tricky because i was thinking of a new rear shock & uprating the front springs & yes i think the fazer will then be smoking hot but i can get an old fireblade that is smoking hot outta the box  for 2k & pribably sell it 2 years later for 2k.
