If we were planning to keep the bike longer we’d have gone K&N but the plan is to get her some experience on this tatty bike then look for something nicer.can’t test it properly at the moment as it’s off road, I've just bought a second bike for myself and had too much tied up in tax and insurance on three bikes before she ‘buys’ it off me.
She’s ridden the Fazer on a private road a few times in preparation for her more formal training and loves it so we’re thinking of maybe looking for a nicer example when the time comes, maybe a 2003 model? These look to me just to be a more modern looking fairing with better lights, have I got that right or is there more to it than that? The other thought is the later R6 engined model but that seems to be held in less regard going on the little bits I’ve read about it. Doubtless I’m be researching and seeking opinions on here nearer the time.
Pretty much as you've said. The lights on the 02/03 models are H4 bulbs both sides with far superior reflective panels than the older models. To be honest you'd be hard pushed finding worse lights than the older models, which is why a lot of people have used add on spotlights which work very well.
