2008 FZ1S for sale.£3k.

[noggythenog]

I completely agree with almost all of the comments here.......all have an element of the truth to them......the fact is i took the punt on the FZ1 without knowing whether it would be for me or not......& i dont think it is........here i am sat on a saturday morning with a beautiful bike sitting in the shed and i dont want to ride it......that speaks for itself really......it is very quick but that isn't actually equating to more fun......just increased stakes & when going at normal speeds it just feels like bimbling and is therefore boring....whereby on the 600 you can feel quick at more legal speeds.....yes my dad did show me up a bit......but I've ridden with him on the 600 and had no issues....I've even led on it and had him struggling on some corners.....that was fun.......so it's either me or the bike.




Ok so I've only had the bike a couple months....but ive done a few thousand miles in that time.........i feel I've ticked the box in that i've at least tried a thou.....but I'm not all that impressed by it as a complete package....& there are so many bikes out there to give a chance to.....ok so ill lose £500 on the sale but like i say i think I've had £500 worth out of it....& i get £3k in my bank.....& id rather sit out the rest of the season than do more miles on a bike I'm not having fun on....& id rather someone else was enjoying it....my little fazer has bog standard and ancient budget suspension and i still have fun on it...that's the level of riding i enjoy......i can always pick up a rat bike to see me through the season if needs be.




& in the meantime ill try to like it.......maybe ill have a perfect ride out or get a bit of sport and think hey it didn't do bad there or whatever....it may never sell anyway but id rather have it up for sale now just incase it takes a while for it to sell.






Maybe it does just need a good setting up...probably does....but i've just got pissed off with it really....I'm sure you've all been there....no matter how much sense you read it doesn't change the feeling....a dark cloud over what should be fun.






So who fancies the challenge????............anyones wallet coming out yet...come and prove me wrong about my thoughts?
