Cheers Noggy, yeah I am definitely not quitting biking or anything! I did this before when I did up my previous bike my GS500. I owned it for a bit and enjoyed it, then sold it and took some time off then decided on the Fazer and have loved owning it. It has come on loads in my opinion with all the work I've done and I've made it my own and unique from others. It was always a great bike, but now the handling is so sweet and it has more character with its wide bars, nakedness and throaty exhaust. Like I say though, it just doesn't make me wake up and think "I really MUST go out and ride today" any more unfortunately.
When I'm out on it, I love it and it performs fantastically but I have found out recently I am quite a lazy rider when it comes to gear changing and the Fazer has "enough" power and mid range to just about keep up with my lazyness, but I want something more suited to my top gear roll on overtake style because I'm a lazy foccer and can't be arsed to be booting it down 2 gears all the time! I have always loved muscle bikes, hence the styling of my Fazer, but I want to actually own one now not a look alike. There are a few I have always loved, but to be honest my budget is tight so I wont utter what I'm looking at because I will quite likely be booted from the Forum and bring shame to the Fazer community! I am seeing it as a stepping stone into the muscle bike genre though, if I like this one I'll get something better in the future. As I said, I like fettling too and the parts list is endless for the bike I want so I look forward to that! You got the FZ1 and have loved that. I will miss my Fazer no doubt but I like the excitement of trying new stuff and excitement is what biking is all about. Whatever I get though, I'll still visit the forum!
