It's quite simple. I never really gelled with this bike. It's the 2008 model and I always had problems e.g. with the suspension and a vague front end, enough to reduce my confidence. Prior to the 2008 model I had the first FZ1 Fazer - the 2006 model which I liked a lot. In 2008, I came off the 2006 bike in damp greasy conditions at slow speed whilst banked over when the rear spun up and spat me off. Bike was written off and I got the 2008 model next, which I've tolerated and not loved.
My circumstances are much better than they were years ago. I can afford a change from the 8 years I've been riding FZ1s, and I also have more time to enjoy biking. So it's time to make that change and embrace more of what motorcycling offers these days.
