All Fazer's are built to a tight budget and a lot of the savings are on the suspension components. The front end isn't really much better than bikes of the 70's, the rear is cheap as chips unit, with awful damping, many are knackered with by 8k and you can't really set up the bike for anyone of more than 70kg at most.
Sorting as I've mentioned will greatly improve the bike, with the ability to set in up for you, making it far more planted and confidence inspiring. Just changing the rear shock for a quality unit, is a transformation on it's own.
As you say would anything else be any better, probably not, spending £700 odd to make the bike feel like a new bike is probably a better and cheaper option than spending a 2K.
