Its the age old question, "What do I replace my Fazer with?"
Personally, I don't ever plan on selling my Gen 1. It does everything I could want and then some and I personally think they are a thing of beauty with a bit of fettling.
The boxeye is the bike I would look at replacing even though I still enjoy riding and polishing it. Sometimes we just fancy a change I guess. I intend to keep it for at least another 12 months and save up some dosh and then look at alternatives. There's no way I would want another sports bike as they have very limited uses in the 'real world' and I have owned or ridden most of them over the years GSXR's, R1's, ZX9's, Fireblades, ZX10's etc. They're excellent at what they're designed for but that limits the practicalities for me. I have never found them comfortable, even when I was a lot younger so it's 'sit up and beg' jobbies for me from now on.
My current shortlist (dreamlist) are Speed Triple, Ducati Hypermotard, Aprilia Tuono V4 or maybe the FZ8.

Yamaha Fazer 'the only bike you'll ever need' maybe ???
