FZS1000 market value: disappointed.

The values for the Bandit surprise me, I thought they would be less.

Exactly, but as an owner of both bikes I can honestly say the following -

• Fazer - out right power 130bhp at the r-wheel compared to 101,  better handling at speed due to being lighter, better brakes, better mirrors,
  
• Bandit - better carburation, better front suspension, better clutch & gearbox, HID friendly headlight, bigger wider screen, far more comfortable seat - less aches and pains on a long journey(did 5hrs a week ago, on the fazer my bum would have been in bits), no exup vale to seize up.
  

I have had a FZS600 and 5x FZS1000's and liked them all, but stock-to-stock the Bandit 1200 is just better overall.
