4/01 on my compliance plate

[jackojet]

I'd hate to think what anyone paid brand new in 01 for their fazer thou?
Isn't this why they didn't catch on that well back then. Yamaha priced them too high.
I got mine brand new in 05 and paid £5995

01/06/2002 cost £5999 on the road.24,000mls on the clock now(fair weather miles only).OAP status for the last year(me not the bike) :lol .

[hotmetal]

Well I'm nowhere near. I had a 2002 bike that I bought in 2004. Put maybe 30,000 miles on it and decided to buy a really clean 2004 plater in 2008 when I realised my old faithful was getting a bit scruffy and I didn't want a gen 2. Have since put another 24,000 onto the 8k that was on it. I'm looking after this one…
