Okay, so recently sold my lovely mint Boxeye to pay a vets bill, in the short term I dabbled with a cheap super moto thingy which whilst great fun on the back roads wasn't really up to any long trips...so that's now sold and I am looking for my next bike, preferably a Fazer. I am a bit fussy as it will only be a sunny sunday toy, so am looking for:
600
Late Boxeye or early foxeye
Low miles, under 20k
No rust / corrosion
No broken plastics
MOT
Some recent service history would be nice
Excellent condition
HPI clear
I am based in Devon but can travel within the South West within reason, I am actively looking so may not be bikeless for long so if you do have or know of anything suitable message me ASAP, I will check in regularly and update this post if sorted.
Budget is up to @£1700 (no higher)
Thanks in advance

Hey jones good to have you back anyway, allot o choice out there but you still choose fazer,
Good luck with the hunt.
Im seriously tempted to sell mine sometimes but only so i can get a thou & i dont have the extra dosh to make the move on a decent thou so ill sit tight for now, plus ive spent a wee bit on it that ill never get back.
Plenty fazers out there mate.
Cheers

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

Tbh don't limit yourself to under 20,000 miles, my first was 120,000 when I retired her!
Some say...
If you can go to £1950 I know someone selling one which is like new only 8k miles.You won't find better.
I'd personally pay a tad more for one that is immaculate.

Hi, if its a Foxeye then "may" be able to do a little more, could you send me some details? I think my budget would get a pretty immaculate Boxeye but have had three of them and could be the right time to move up
Thanks

I payed £1750 for my '03 with 12000 miles- just for a price comparison!
Some say...
Depends on condition, owners, service history and extras though I guess
I've seen low mileage 03's at dealers for up near £2500. None as low as 8k either
do you come over to west wales occasionally? i have a reasonable standard boxeye but it's developed a stutt-tt-er when i give it some gas. off to scotland for the next coupla weeks but i'll be trying to sort it when i come back. 25000 on the clock.

Wales not out of the question for location but looking to get one with no issues and a little lower on miles if possible, but thanks anyway and good luck.

Hi,
I might have a boxeye coming in in px for a racing sidecar I'm selling. Its on a Y plate, very good nick with 9500 KM on the clock. I'm not sure exactly why its in KM but I will find out and confirm. It is a UK spec bike tho. I was hoping for a bit more then 1700 but I could do that for a quick sale. I'm up north in Harrogate but I'm sure we could sort some way of getting it down to you.
email me on jc@anodeelectronics.co.uk if you want pics and details.
cheers

Email sent, thanks
Now sorted, thanks to everyone who pm'd me.
Didn't quite get what I wanted as nothing local and desperate for a bike while I am on hols, so in the end I got:
Gold 99 FZS600, 16k miles, service history, taxed and MOT till next March, not mint by any means but no rust just a few marks and rides perfectly, all for £1100 which I am very happy with.
Plan to keep as is apart from putting on a cheap endcan, ride it till next March, put a new MOT on it, sell it and then look again for the mint foxeye I really want
All the best

Congrats, I always did have an embarrassing soft spot for the gold and black scheme, somehow it works!
