Been down the road today, and picked up my new Fazer and boy does it feel good Very Happy

. Still trying to get properly used to it - but I'm taking it easy until I get there and so far it's great. One thing I wasn't prepared for was how much more powerful the brakes feel compared my 125, or the 500 I rode during my DAS course. Maybe it's the braided lines making more difference than I expected.

Anyway, thought I'd show it off a little with some pics:

Looks very clean and tidy mate. Must be the smartest Fazer i have seen in a while.

I know what you mean about things like brakes. I went from the GS500 i did my DAS on to a GSXR600 with braided lines. That was a bit of a shock.

I think I like the Fazer. It's what the old XJ should have grown into, raher than the Divvy.

Looks nice and tidy. Also I don't think it's braided lines that make the difference Wink

The brakes are taken from the R6, they ought to work well. Very Happy

Properly nice bike, although you've hidden the bent swing arm and slack chain. Razz
