Not sure what to do.

Oh some interesting replies here...best place to put the question as only other bikers would understand, it is not always a straight forward decision & often sense goes out the window to make room for what the biker heart wants.




A couple of points i've already contemplated.....the longevity of a Nitron....correctly mentioned is actually a shock for life 8)


Insurance isn't too much of an issue....i suppose what i was saying was that id never get those upgrades back on insurance...but then most crashes would right off such an old bike anyway & id get its stock worth.


I think doing these upgrades would in effect kill the bike long term as i'd prob only ever break it due to all the goodies i could sell vs the measly price id get for the whole package.....it would never appreciate even if fazers did get that way because it isnt an original and non crashed example.


Test rides are a good idea....like has been mentioned umpteen times before though...the fazer is a good bike & often outperforms supposedly better stuff.....now the big comfy bikes like the thous just aren't as nimble as id ideally like & 2 up will be a rarity......fz8 is a bit boring but still a good bike....but heavy & over priced....TRX sounds ideal but they're so old & id prob wish id kept the fazer, wish they had a modern version though....which brings me to the BMW f800r....looks pissy small & i aint small...gen 2 thou very nice but i dont need all that top end.


I gotta say i am right now the most tempted with the triumph street triple r.....theres a garage doing 0% funnily enough  :rolleyes ......but i think i'll wait til next year & see if things have changed.




But i dont think ill be doing the mods sadly....well unless i get some test rides & decide that i dont like anything else.


So the answer is i can spend allot of money on my bike.....but i aint getting it back & i could get something else for that money.
