2008 FZ1S for sale.£3k.

[noggythenog]

Congratulations, noggy to you & your good lady!
Now your recent posts begin to make sense!
Just a few thoughts.......
If you decide to sell FZ1 why spend any more money on "sorting" rear suspension?
Sell privately if possible.
Before buying another bike get an extended test ride.
Why the MT07?.........74bhp....your noggyfighter is 95!
If your in the market for this style of bike-think about the MT09.....more power than an FZS 600/FZ6 but light and nimble...theyre will be a few ex-demonstator/low mileage one owner 2nd hand ones around in a year or so @ reasonable prices.
PCP is not as good for the customer as many people think!
Dont feel bad that you & the FZ1 didnt gel-at least you gave it a try.
Theres so much choice of bikes....sizes,geometry,power development and its "horses for courses".
Whatever you decide-good luck!

Cheers Dave


Fingers crossed the mighty C spanner does something for me.


& yes a decent test ride is in order....i dived right in with the FZ.

I always had the MT09 on my list but what attracts me to the MT07 is that it is the most like the original fazer......of modern times anyway....not saying they are that simillar but have similar aims ie low price, basic, cheap to run, light and nimble & fun..........plus a chance for folk with 'normal' buying power to own a new bike and having a bike from new or nearly new is something i strive for as i will finally know its history and treat it right from the start.....but equally if an MT09 nearly comes along at the right price then i would prefer one.....they look a bit more trick......i've just learnt that big power differences on bikes don't equate to that much difference on the roads........only really on the overtakes......every other situation then i think that low power and low weight triumph........if someone is backing off on their thou at 90moh for a corner then what's the point in being able to do more than 90 if you only ride on twisty roads....and a small capacity bike will still easily get up to 90mph........the little fazer all to easily gets up to the tonne......i honestly have only ever rarely exceded these speeds on the longest and most open corners.......it is a true rarity....& naughty :evil




Where the thou is good is the gears....you can stay in 6th in corners and still get drive and you dont need to go down the box to overtake either.
