Update on my previous post, just came back from a 2600km (1600 miles) trip Barcelona - Malaga - Barcelona. The bike has now 33.000km (20.000 miles) on the clock, bought it last May with 19.000km (11.800 miles) and have done 14.000km's in 9 months (i was in China for the entire month of January so the bike was just sitting in the street parking). I was thinking of getting a bigger fuel injected bike to replace the Fazer, but after doing 1140 km on it in one day Malaga - Barcelona on highways/b-roads i have changed my mind, for 1800€ paid The fazer is a perfect commuter, everyday workhorse, great fun on mountain roads and really low fuel consumption + maintenance costs (just did a full service on it before the trip and the bill was 80£ all included). I have owned 2 cbr 600 a cbr 900RR Fireblade, cbr 1100 xx and some more bikes, but i have to say the Fazer has proven to be the most versatile bike i have owned and from the newer bikes on the market i just cant find an alternative to replace it except the GSF 1250 S bandit or the FZS 1000 but both are heavy bikes to handle and the Fazer 1000 is carbed too, so i will just keep the Fazer and see how high miles i can rack on it, planing to do a tour this summer of the west coast of Spain and ride through Portugal and back to the east cost where i live.
Here is a nice video of a guy who has done 266.000 miles = 428.00kms' and stil running on the original engine, impressive from a 600cc motor!!
