I don't want to but if I want to keep on biking I have to sell my FZS1000
Reason, I had a serious operation on my spine and I'm now having trouble handling the weight.
Sad to hear it Mick, and after everything you put into this bike. Which is, of course, in the best (and fastest
) colour.Will you be looking for something smaller and lighter?
You could always switch to the 600.
Or for sheer hooligan fun, the Triumph Street Triple (675) I found to be featherweight after the Fazer thou. It leans you forward a little more, but I found that didn't aggravate my own bad back.

I'll be getting either the Tracer 700 or the CB500X, both very easy to ride bikes, light, low seat height and good MPG.
Another option would be an old classic, RD250/400 LC350, CX500 or something similar. Just gonna be using it for knocking about, my 1000 miles a day are long gone.
