Hi from Cork. After years of litre plus bikes I decided to downsize to something more appropriate to the mainly small roads and my limited budget I bought a 00 fzs600 today . She's a bit tatty but was cheap as chips and a revelation in smiles per mile ! More than happy with performance and handling from a 14 year old bike .
Last 600 I had was a XJ600N company bike when I was despatching in London in the late 90s and I hated that dreary slug of a machine . This is a very different wee beastie ! Only 28k on it and running sweet . Will probably need downpipes soon enough ( surprise surprise) but hopefully that will be all apart from consumables.
First long trip will be home to Kettering in a month or two and looking to playing in Wales on the way!
