WANTED, FZS1000

[nick crisp]

How do I get an HPI check on a private sale bike? What info do I need?

Personally, if I washed the bike just before taking photos for a sale ad, I'd dry it thoroughly and give it a polish too. Seems a bit lazy not to. Might be worth a sniff still though.

Don't know your price etc bit is this any good?

Can't get the actual bike, but its number 18 on their list

[slappy]

Is it just me but does that fazer on ebay look like both tyres are touching the ground even though it is on the centrestand?

Well, it's another place to keep an eye on, so thanks for that. Obviously I'd like to find one a bit closer to me than Scotland, but if collection could be arranged on the right bike, all depends on individual circumstances. All helps though  :thumbup

@slappy - dunno, it all comes down to getting a look first hand though? Photos can be deceiving.

[sinto607276]

Well if you find one up here, I'd be willing to ride it down for you if you pay my train fair home, can't be fairer than that :lol

No. 18 is an FZ1, not FZS1000.

Sorry Nick, I don't know the difference, I've only got a fzs600 and don't even know the differences in those models :wall

I forgive you  :lol

Thanks
so, what is the difference?

These pesky 600 riders eh


Nick...I think all you need for a HPI is the registration number....you can get them sent to your phone by text for a few quid but id double check before paying exactly what details they are offering to find out.

I looked on the HM Gov site and have found that its last MOT expired 18 May 2013 and it is indeed registered there as sorn.

also on the HM Gov site was the facility to check the mot history which would include mileage but you need the registration number plus the V5 document reference number to get that info.

Looking at the guys ebay account he is also selling a Plough....yeh a full on Plough....(not for a fazer Christo)..........he got it for a contract that didn't materialise & doesn't have land to sell it.......He is also selling a fook off tractor (how welsh can you get)  for 14K earth pounds and wants to downsize to a smaller tractor as he doestn have the work to justify the big one apparently.

FZ1's are faster 8) 8) 8)

FZS1000 are more versatile......can be used as hedge trimmers

Edit - unless slim is riding one and then apparently he is behind and out of sight.

Phone? Text?  :o  :lol

Tractor? Plough? What does all this tell us? That it'll all match up with my hedge trimmer?  :look

I've just done some googling so not sure if this is the best site but should give you an example Nick if the link works.

still involves dosh though.

if you look at the top you should see ive already entered the Reg....then if you scroll down you get a list of what is offered with the different packages of checks.

Ok, cheers. I guess it would be courteous to contact the seller first and ask if he objects to me doing a check?

I'm still none the wiser but I'm reading between the hedges :b here that red FZ1 's and FZ1000 's are a lot slower than my red fzs600 :b

I've always wanted to say that :lol

I was faster on my 600.....figure that one  :rolleyes................The FZ1 is the big fazer from 2006 onwards, different bike, chassis, engine, fuel injected etc, emphasis on sports bit of sports tourer...............the older big fazer is the FZS1000 which is also quick but has an older carb R1 engine and is more comfy for touring & trimming.







rumour has it that slim was only behind because he was carrying a leaf blower.

he wont know.......but if you message him and ask direct "is it Cat C or Cat D" and he replies with a Yes then it could save you a few quid on checking........if he knows then Im willing to bet that he will own up....but his advert hasn't mentioned anything about it Not being Cat C or D so he hasn't exactly lied if nobody asks I suppose.

Maybe coz the 600 IS faster??? :rollin

Thanks for clearing that up,
.......
so, it's a carbed slower version of the even slower version of the 1000?

Have I got this right now? :rolleyes
