FZS1000 market value: disappointed.

and suspension. The quality of components on the fazer is far better quality.

The stock front suspension on the FZS1000 is abysmal at low speed (where is where most of us spend our time), the I have played with the pre/comp camping settings, changed the springs, the oil & level and still the damping is too harsh. Where as I havent had to touch the bandit.

• Ivanised  the carbs ,
  
• you can buy a better seat and screen,
  
• suspension  is easy sorted,
  

• Mine are ivanised and yet I still have a slight hesitation when just feathering the throttle, which is a right pain at anything below 35mph
  
• My issue is spending £100-200 on getting the stock seat 'fixed' is annoying when the bandits stock seat just works. And screen fair enough, but I have yet to see a very wide screen in the UK thats wide enough (Ive seen those rifle screens in the US, but the new price is just daft)
  
• The rear yes, but spending £££ to get the front damping sorted is infuriating in so many ways.
  

Fazers do seem to be selling cheap I've just brought a 02 one owner 15k for 2k bargain

I'm wondering if the fact the the FZS1000 is mis-catagorized as a sports bike bu so many insurance companies has anything to do with the lower value.
