Yes, you could replace the Fazer. But I've chosen a different route, and will go for a Street Triple as a second bike whilst keeping the Fazer. If I sold the Fazer, I could up my budget and consider some of the bikes you're thinking about, but for a Sunday scratcher, I want something smaller and lighter. Something that I can use more of the available power on more readily, and can flick through tight twisties. I would never get rid of the Fazer just because I could afford something newer and different. It's winter now, and my mind turns to other bikes too, but on each of the rare occasions I've got out on the Fazer recently, I've realised I don't need anything else, and still love it to bits. There is no replacement for it, only different stuff, and that's what I want to try, so I'm gonna have my cake and eat it :lol
Plus, I still want the Fazer for longer trips, touring etc. Plus, it's now Ivanised, has the R6 rear shock, and is soon to get an R1 front end. I'm not doing all that just to sell it! And if I replaced it, I'd probably read up on the replacement and find I want to start throwing money at upgrades on that too, so where the foc does it all end?!
