Both brilliant bikes, though I too favour the fazer. Downside if it's a do all and you commute ( as I realised this afternoon checking my not long fitted tyres) is the big feller gets through rears pretty quick....
That's interesting... what kind of commuting, Ogri? I do 120 miles a day (70 motorway, 50 town and country) and get 8000ish out of the rear BT 023.

Tyres is a soft bt016r hyper sport, I think that's the problem. Astounding grip though, even in winter, once they have warmed up. Bloke who had the bike before me just wanted it for track days, hence he bought one with sorted suspension, had it a year, fitted the battlaxes, did two track days and I bought it prolly November time, tyres still looked really good aside from the inevitable track day side scuffling, my commit is only forty miles a day but it's fast B roads and motorways, think it's the Severn bridge m/ way dash that's taking its toll :-)
