Hi,

Currently ride a FZS Fazer 600 and looking for a step up that is priced in the £1500-2000 range. So far have seen Zx9rs, 929 Blade and Daytona 955i but was wondering if anyone could offer any experience of them or better yet a comparison?

Bit of information about me and my planned use, im about 6ft and 12-13st. The bike is my main mode of transportation (looking at a sport bike though, so not really interested in alternate naked or touring options currently) I ride 1000 miles a month of around town B road and occasionally motorway riding.

Preferably after fuel injection, but realistically something that isn’t a ticking time bomb but is also fairly user friendly and nothing too tank like.

Cheers in advance.

Rob

Bloody hell! Cheers for all the in depth quick replies biggrin

Unfortunately £2k will be the top of my current budget with time of year etc (also a bit apprehensive spending £ks on a bike through my first winter season haha)

I'd read on the blade having snatchy fuelling in first but that a power commander can resolve this. Very useful info on the recalls so thanks to all that have helped so far.

I think I'd enjoy them all coming from the Fazer, the apparent lightness of the blade appeals though.

Very valid point Podman, I'd definitely look to buy on condition it'd only be a false economy otherwise ..both financially and for enjoyment
