Hi Guys,
I am torn between Fazer 1000 and FZ1 and I read all threads on the forum
A couple of things I need the bike to do and what I will be using it for. I will use it daily for commuting and occasional weekend trips locally. I want it to offer good wind protection and handle precisely. I am not expecting big Bandit low down torque but would want decent acceleration on top gear from 30 mph. Comfortable riding position is essential. Had Triumph street triple r which was a sublime handler. Lack of fairing killed it for me!
Regarding maintenance would like to keep it to minimum and here carbs vs injection? Advantages and disadvantages of both? Is EXUP servicing time consuming and messy?
Is fz1 suspension much harder than Fazer 1000? I presume with full adjustability I would be able to get it where I want it. On FZ1 some people put in R1 rear shock. Could it be set as a balancing act between handling precision and comfort? I set up my triumph as very hard once and it was impossible to use on a public road hence the question.
Is there much difference with torque distribution between the 2?
I presume riding position is comfortable on both?
Thanks to all for their input and patience...
Paul
