I'm pretty much the same as Dibsy, 15+ years of second hand, very old bikes, got my Fazer 8 with £2000 off the price (of the new 2013/14) bike , £99 deposit and 4 years interest free - couldn't not get it, plus I fell in love with the look of it, had never ridden one before but felt right sat on it, but as my last bike was an '88 Kwak 750 shaft, anything was going to be better. Wasn't my bike of choice, would've loved a Triumph, but just couldn't/can't afford one.
But that said, I'm loving my bike, more than enough power for me (and I weigh in at 17 stone) and with the missus on the back (8.5 stone) it still goes and stops! Every one I meet say how good it looks, just need to get a new can on it to make it sound a bit nicer, proabably a bigger screen for next winter and get heated grips fitted and I'm sorted (although I'm still tempted to swap the black wheels for gold ones?)(and I've already put a Givi top box - aaaaarrrggghhhhhhh - but a necessity and it doesn't look too bad with the box on or off?)
