I've had the fazer for 10 years now and at 16 years it's getting a little long in the tooth. Still runs well but getting scruffy.
So finally decide to get a new bike. That bit was easy. Deciding what to get isn't.
I've narrowed it down to two. Sensible vs Fun.
For sensible we have the Honda NC700X. Average 65MPG, excellent commute and service every 8000 miles. Zero miles on the clock and Honda finance at 4.9%and my old bike as deposit comes in at about £132 per month.
For fun we have the FZ8 - the bigger fazer. Nice familiar with oodles of power but only 40MPG. About 8k miles and with standard dealer finance probably similar to the Honda.
Sort of leaning towards the Honda, as I'm more interested in economy now.
Anyone have/tried either of these?
