Nah ! no influence, I bought it blind, just like I did the Fz1s,, The Fz1s fazer I spotted being written about a few times in the mags,probably a lot of Gen 1s so I to the risk and ordered one online,,well you have met me from that move, I had a great time on that bike,i loved it,and now 3 years on I got itchy feet.
So I decided I wanted a lighter bike,watched a lot of Street triples and speeds too, but wanted a sub 200 kg bike with a bit or a lot of fairing then it hit me,,Fireblade,,lots written about them,mags full of them and like I do,impulse did it,,
And its a lot lighter than the yam fz1s, I had a good ride last night, really enjoyed it,felt comfortable and made me smile much,,lol
I will see if on longer rides If I can live with it,i will see,
very excited with it.
Cant wait to come up for a couple of days, I have never been to the lake district
