Hey Kev, welcome along
I get a bit of stick for downgrading to a trx.....but same thing i was scaring myself on my previous FZ1....never crashed it but had a few high speed near misses and always felt like i was pushing myself a bit too much.......niw im flat out everywhere with the throttle on the stops in every gear......yet when i look at the speedo im doing more normal ish speeds.
The old fazers are great bikes, i loved mine....only thing stopping me get another is variety & so many other bikes id like to try.......last year or the year before there were quite a few really nice ones for sale on here but i havent seen too many recently.......if i was to get another id look for a low mileage box eye that has had its sprocket nut upgraded, R6 shock mod already done and maybe some uprated springs although tbh i had good fun on that bike with the standard suspension.....oh and id look for braided lines and the fzs1000 rear blue spot caliper upgrade too.......apart from that even standard you easily do a few hundred miles a day. 8)

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
