Hey, snap! (nearly, mine's silver)

Great choice there I think mate, great for pottering and a pretty thrilling top end. but then you'll find that out yourself I'm hoping to keep mine a few years, will do nicely as an everyday bike.

If it hasn't got one, I'd strongly recommend a hugger otherwise if you use it for commuting the swingarm will always be manky. Dipped head is pretty poor too, but there's a few mods available, including HID kits. Oh, and the zorst is too piggin quiet, I can't hear it over 60!

Oh, and don't forget to check out the owners club at www.foc-u.co.uk tons of info and very friendly.

Oh yeah and enjoy!

Very nice to ride they Fazers...as fast as a 600 should be..
..the gearbox had a notion to find a neutral when downchanging at speed if you didn`t give the lever a firm prod with your foot ...great brakes too..

Got them down to £3750 and then had to have this as well to match!!



The bike is being delivered to my house at 4pm after I go there to sign the paperwork and pay for it. That leaves me about 1 hour of daylight for some fun thumbup

Insurance £126 TPF&T!!

Yeah, think Yamaha must have had a few kicking around as mine is a 52 yet it's still a Mk.1 model.

looks like they are a good choice them from the sounds of it. I only have 2 mods I want to do with the bike asap and that is a rad cover/protector and a rear hugger.

ant good suggestions from other fazer owners on things worth assing to the bike or not really?

cheers

Matt

Road legal race can with removable baffles , K&N , and there is a headlight upgrade you can do , as you will find the lights rather poor .

does the K@N filter make much difference? The can may be replaced in the spring with soemthing nicer to look and sound. Does the bike need to be rolling roaded when a new can in added?

sorry for all the questions. I like to get as much information as I can

thanks

Matt
