Due to me being busy and the bloody garage taking 9 days to do an MOT, tonight was the first chance to take the Fazer out for a proper run. Now apart from a brief ownership of a ZRX11 some 15 years ago and no funds to put it on the road this is my first bike over 750cc since passing my test in 1986
Its fucking Awesome
As soon as i got to the edge of town and opened it up i had the biggest grin on my face. Lots of power, pulls like the proverbial train. No need to drop a gear to pass traffic what is a novelty
Sticks like shite to a blanket on the corners (Must check tyre brand) and stops like a stoppie thing. Binned the delkevic end can and put on the black widow what was on my 600 fazer as loud pipes sound shit. Needs carb balanced and probably a service but apart from that i am so glad i bought the bike. Ill look into some hard luggage come the winter and this is taking us to Euro Land next year. Probably lake Como/Garda area.
