2 weeks

[Sealion127]

well , finally found a fazer i liked at the right money , had it for 2 weeks and got rear ended and thumped off it while stationary at a round about . the little old lady pressed the accelerator instead of the brake while approaching the round about and hit me with enough force to knock me 30 feet across the road ,police and paramedics attended , went to hospital ,  the bikes a mess and the insurance have collected it and dropped off a nice cbf 1000 in its place . i really like it and now have a dilemma ..... fazer or cbf as a replacement .

Holy shit dude that's just really unlucky, and there's bugger all you could have done to avoid it too! Hope your not too busted up!
Fazer or cbf......... Hmmm, I'm sure there's someone on here that's had one of them there H##da thingys. You'll regret changing to a cbf, its too clinical as are most Honda's. I've ridden loads of them, new and old, seemingly all appear lacking in character one way or the other. Your choice, but as you know, the 600 fazer does EVERYTHING to 90%. No other bike I've ever ridden out there can do that.

Carbs + fazer = /\ smiles per mile!


Simples.

I had mine 13 days before someone knocked it over in London and drove off!


Speedy recovery for yourself sir!

Had mine 4 hours and out for my first ride when someone driving a low loader with a BMW on the back reversed into me at the lights.  Broken mudguard and a bruised ego but could've been much worse.  That was my first harsh lesson of not stopping where you can't see the driver in their mirrors!
I can't speak for any other bikes but I frickin' well love my 600...can't see me getting anything else in a hurry.

Sealion if you liked the cbf 1000 before you try anything else try a gen1 thou ! if you can insure one !

gutted you got hit but also glad your ok !

[nick crisp]

CBF1000 = nice bike.
Fazer Gen 1 = fantastic bike!
No contest

You've not been on a fzs1000 then.  110%

Been on one, yeah it was ok. Bought the better version fz1s.

Bought the better version fz1s.

I didn't know they'd updated it for 2013... :lol

[snapper]

never ridden a gen 2 myself but sat on one
I'm no lightweight but I felt like I was sitting on a kids tricycle !

At least the gen 1 feels like your sitting on a proper motorbike rather than a Power Rangers toy plastic bike !

I blame the BMW......they're always involved somehow!
