Unfortunately, these kind of symptoms do not appear uncommon on the little Fazer.
However, we need more info. Was the bike stored outside and open to the elements ?
Was your battery given a full charge before you started the bike and is the battery healthy ? (you'd be surprised how poor a bike can run when it has a knackered battery, even though it will still start the bike).
How short was your short burst up the road ? The bike may just need warming up properly and taking for a longer run to get rid of the older fuel from the fuel system and any potential condensation that has accumulated.
Is your choke cable sticking ? The bike will feel rough as a badgers behind if it is getting too much or too little fuel.
There are loads of possible reasons why your bike may be misbehaving. Some are a logical fix and some aren't but it would help knowing a bit more about the bike and the way it's stored first perhaps.

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