Had a look at a Fazer 1000 today

[Mewcenary]

This one, in fact:

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201404033031986/

Feels just right in terms of seating. Comfy. Mods are all very tasteful. Never ridden a Fazer 1000 with non-risen bars but whatever has been done here works well! (They are angled also). In remarkable condition for the age so has clearly been very well looked after.

Can is lovely and burbly (road legal, with removable baffle).

Needs a bit more revving than the B12 to get into the fun spot, but still loads of grunt there. Certainly feels lighter and easier to shift about.

Certainly giving it a lot of thought.....!

That's quite a lot of money.

Do you need to start a new thread every time you think of a bike???

I'm sure future readers would be interested in your comparisons and opinions on each bike but it would be easier to find if they were all one thread.

You started a hello ex b12 rider thread, then test ride today thread, now a fazer 1000.

Fazer thou seems to be one of the ultimate do everything bikes. I think that example looks a little expensive, and I found them quite expensive to insure for some reason. Great bikes though for sure.

Can get one with half the mileage for that if you go private.

I'd rather pay the £1300 extra and have this if I had to chose between that and that SV.

To you and me Paddy maybe they will seem boring due to riding style, I'm sure OP might like it.

Like it!

Tried the following at P&P Motorcycles. Worrying element was that pretty much all had dead batteries until jumped.

Sprint ST 995 - 2000W, 27k. Liked this. Fun. Good seating position. Sounded great. Handled well. Issue was that this particular one cut out at junctions. Seems to be a known issue on the Triumph forums, and easily sorted, so the issue here was more a bike for sale did that. Heated grips didn't work either. Their price: £2.3k

Fireblade CBR900RR - 1999T plate, 16k mileage. Not on their website. Cat C or D write-off (tank damage, covered with protector). This was fun! I think the riding position would be a bit much for me long-term but really enjoyed it. This one didn't randomly stop at junctions so that was good too Their price: £2k.

SV1000S - Not going to put any specs about this one as it bored me to death. Also sounded too much like a tractor.
