So your mates have new bikes and by the street triple admission is uncomfortable with no wind protection......but your Fazer does.....and he cant out run you on it either.....and as for the comparing a v-storm 650 to the FZS1000....hang your head in shame boy!!!!!!


Neither was a comparison as such.. Both very different bikes really. I was only stating what bikes my mates have and having been out on them they are not what I would ideally go for.

the V-Strom 650 ins't to be mocked though. I was very impressed with its engine, may not have the top end of the Fazer (or any large-ish inline 4) but usable grunt out of corners is good. I would have one over the Street triple any day of the week but then with my size that is not surprising.
I have also been lucky enough to ride the 2013 Hayabusa. amazing bike can be a pussycat or a complete animal, but riding position would get to me after a while and I may lose my licence!! was doing over 3 figures at one point and honestly didn't realise.
