Struggling (again) to sell my Fazer at the moment, so I have 3 options. Option 1 keep it and enjoy it some more and forever wonder what another motor cycle might be like. Option 2 sell it for £3.50 and a kinder egg toy as I am currently being offered. Or option 3 which is remove the good parts to sell seperately and return it to stock then either sell for cheap or part exchange at a dealer. I'm therefore testing the water of option 3 to see if anyone is interested in any of these parts. Please PM me with any questions:
Ohlins Rear Shock (Very Good condition)
Mivv Stainless Exhaust Can (Very good condition)
R6 Shock kit and dog bones (Barely Used, excellent condition, set for approx 14 stone rider)
Engraved Stainless Torque Arm (Very Good Condition)
Carbon Look Rear Hugger (Average Condition)
Stainless Rad Guard (Good / Average Condition)
7 Inch Round Headlight (Chrome style, good condition)
8 Inch Round Headlight (Black plastic, good condition)
4 Smoked Mini Indicators
Renthal Street fighter Bars (Silver)
K&N Air Filter (Used)
25MM Jack Up Kit
Also these parts that I would sell however would need your old original parts in exchange too:
Upgraded OEM forks including: K Tech Linear Springs, Gold Valve Emulators, 15W oil, Thundercat Preload Adjusters, Very good condition internal and external condition.
Custom Seat
FZS 1000 Rear Caliper
(All of the above are not currently for sale, but could be if I decide to go option 3 just to make that part clear again)
Hi Jeff, I can't fault your suspension work at all it's fantastic I just honestly am quite a weird person and get bored of something if I have it too long! The bike rides great, I just want something else now I think. Still not 100%, going out on it this weekend as I haven't ridden it for a couple of weeks so will probably get cold feet haha.
Anyway yes the Mivv does have a removable baffle, I've drilled the rivet that holds the baffle in and replaced it with a small nut, washers and bolt so it can be removed and re-installed whenever. The custom seat is slightly raised and looks smart, it has no fancy gel or anything inside though it's just the normal foam padding I think.
Looking for £140 for exhaust and £50 for the seat but would need your old standard seat in exchange if that's alright?
This is why i stripped my 600 in the end...although more for self gratification....and it was time intensive....but i got a more realistic return by doing it.....such a shame though.....im guessing you dont have anywhere to store it for a year or so....and that you need the money....again like i was.
Only machines and money though.....youll enjoy riding different bikes.......i went to the FZ1....and now ive gone to the TRX fighter......do i miss the 600...yes i do........but before i had crashed it........but if i had the space....and money id have a nice 600 as a second bike.....although im sorry to say it that the power delivery on the 600 was good it doesnt exactly excite me......but it is a very nimble bike.
Anyway there i go again :uhuh
If you have to get rid then i say go with the trade in....although id just take it now and do it without any messing as itll lessen the pain.....youll be too busy having fun to worry about what money you could have made back............or wait until next season.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
Hi Noggy, was going to say the other day btw your TRX looks ace! I actually quite fancied one but they are quite cramped when I came to sit on it, they sound fantastic though with a decent exhaust and so torquey. I know the TDM is big and is the same engine but not to offend anyone it just doesn't look that great to me. Can't beat a good trellis frame either!
I'm not going for the full strip, there's no point its a perfectly good bike I just want to offer up the goodies to the members here because I know taking it to a stealer for px with them still attached he would give me peanuts and be rubbing his hands all the way to the bank once I'm gone. I have most of the stock stuff in the shed so can refit it and have a good condition standard Fazer that may be worth £950 to someone or £700-800 px.
I agree completely power delivery wise, excellent handling bike that looks after you if you make any silly errors but if you get stuck behind a car and want to overtake it NOW you have to be knocking down 2 gears and holding it at 6k which I honestly don't enjoy. I want lazy torque now, it is more my style as a rider I have come to realise. Like I say I will also enjoy working on and upgrading something new to me, I want to get at least a 1000cc bike but not sporty high horse power output more grunt but just over 100hp would do me perfect. Also, physically larger would also be a bonus as the Fazer is a tad little.
How are you finding the TRX?
I reckon a big capacity supermoto is stillyour best bet...and mine....i love the twin on the trx...the sound and the burbling feeling...it has character...it just lacks outright oomph......you still need to down gears for overtakes...it only has 5...5th is barely used.......mostly overtakes in 3rd/4th and then 4th for hooning it on the corners......you can blat quickly through the gears off of roundabouts from 2nd onwards for decent progress.
It aint standard and as such it undoubtedly handles allot better than standard...actually is very sure footed....has t gotten out of shape yet on a corner.....id be lying if i said i cornered faster on it than on my fz1......but there isnt allot in it....and i feel safer......i imagine it is a bit like a Ducati Monster.
I can see now how a triple would be best....a street triple.......or a bigger twin....just not too much to choose from.....i like yamaha.........ythe big aprillia dorsoduro i can see being good but i doubt their reliability, likewise the KTM's.....shame really.

I like Yamaha too however I'm not really fussed about "brand loyalty" personally, if someone makes a good bike then I will be interested in it. Yamaha do make a lot of good bikes though, I think if you like the TRX you should check out the MT-07, it is reviewed so highly everywhere I look. Honestly, I have quite gone off the whole supermoto thing as they are stupidly priced for what are often quite poor condition and very single purpose bikes. My mate borrowed an XT 660 for a week and unfortunately I never had a go but he didn't really get on with it at all. He hated the vibrations, said it was really jerky and ran out of puff at about 60mph where his ER-6 would still be pulling hard in 2nd / 3rd. Even that is down on power to the Fazer 600. I find going to Wales on the M5 quite a pain on the Fazer, so I cant imagine how bad it would be on a single cylinder thumper sat on a tiny plank for a seat.
I'm going back to my original love which is muscle bikes. Ever since I had a go on my mates GSX1400 a few years ago I have thought they are amazing. I love the beefy classic look and have tried to replicate it with my Fazer, but it doesn't have the sheer bulk to pull it off properly. Nor does it have the torque. I would love an XJR1300 but they are out of my price range, as is the GSX 1400 for now. So I am not going to lie, I'm looking at a mark 1 original naked Bandit 1200. I want to get one fairly stock as possible then mod it to my own taste, no stupid florescent wheels or pointy up shark tails. I know its not as good as a Fazer 1000, I don't care to be honest. I like the naked look and there's a lot of modding to be done to a bandit. Bandit has more low grunt and I like the old school nature of it. I think the Fazer 1000 looks fantastic and no doubt is much better over all but after having the Fazer 600, I want something different entirely not just more of the same. If I dont like the Bandit, I'll sell it and hopefully not make much loss then buy something completely different again. Experimenting and excitement is what biking should be about after all![size=78%] [/size]
Hello mate, yeah I like the big Rex a lot although I personally like the blue and white the best and would paint the wheels white too! Definitely up there with my "dream bike" list with the other 2, however once again currently out of my price range. Bandit is cheaper and has more scope for fettling which I like. If I saw one for a decent price though then without a doubt I would snap it up. Ideally I would love to test ride them all but often the only ones in showrooms near me are very new and its rare to see a ZRX1200r in there, occasionally the S model but they dont have the right look for me. MT-01 would also be awesome but again lots of ££££ and even compared to these pretty damn heavy!
