I bought my FZS1000 brand new and had it delivered on the 1st of December 2001, but I didn't use it till the following April. I intended to keep it for 2 years but 20 years and 173,000 miles later, I still have it. I have 4 other bikes and mainly use the Fazer for Winter rides. I have serviced it myself from new, very little has gone wrong with it, apart from a couple of neutral switches, oh and crashing it 3 times [and fitting a 1200 Bandit fairing] It is still on the original clutch, wheel bearings and suspension, although the damping is well tired now. The only thing I dislike is the reluctance to select neutral occasionally in really hot weather, no problem in winter! For me it's probably the best bike I've owned, and there's been a lot!
