I have my test nice and early on 27th november (2 days before i go to the bike show Wink ) and I initially wanted the SV650 K8 sport, but then I saw the Yamaha FZ6 fazer 600. I like everything about it, the clocks, the angrier look than the SV (and the fact it dosen't look like a CBR 125 '05 imo lol) and the underseat exhaust Mr. Green .

The only problem, it looks unfiif you could call it that, is that I dont like bikes with only half fairing as to menished. Is there any way of getting full fairing when I buy it brand new (hopefully about feb next year). I have generally found brand new bikes cost about between 4,200 and 5,200,

Many thanks
Mark

If you like the Fazer and you like Faired bikes why don't you get the Faired Fazer Razz

Personally i wouldn't buy new, but thats me. Good luck and enjoy Thumbs Up

Yamaha are bringing out a new Diversion 600, that might suit you a bit better

Actually just read that for now the fully faired one will be for the usa only, but i wouldnt be surprised if we get it over here.

Thank you.

That diversion is NICE, I'll see what the insurance is first though. I think it will be a case of keeping my ear close to the ground.

thanks again

Yep, and then I saw the insurance LOL

I wanted a GSX-R K8 but TPO insurance was £1500, way too much

19, living in a countryside village where bikes like that get noticed.

1 claim worth 822 and no points. I have only used places like gocompare and moneysupermarket and stuff. I'm also a sales assistant in fast food, which isn't helpful. Do you get better deals if you phone up?

You tend to get phone calls from the insurance companies if you have used a comparison site anyway in my experience. Failing that you can always get the best quotes from the comparison sites and call the top 5 directly to get it down a bit. You tend to cut out the comparison site fees that way. Mr. Green

I've got a CBR 125 at the moment, and it's driving me mad, yeah, i know it can comfortably do the NSL and everything, but it just dosen't feel like a joy to ride any more, and i want something with a bit of power in it which is fully faired but I have to take insurance into account, and the I just really like the FS6. As for why so much, well, it's the price. If no body brought brand new bikes, who'd be there to sell you the second hand bike

I hope you mean the fazer. I don't know what it is about the underseat exhaust, but it just seems to have wowed me somehow. If not, can you please pay the nasty insurance man LOL
