I have got a 2002 600cc hornet right now. Thinking of getting something else now. Noiced George White's ad in the MCn 0% finance on some Yamahas and Kawasakis.

I'd been saving up for, probably a 1250Bandit, or well, just saving really, suzuki only doing 0% finance, from what I could see on smaller machines.

Been looking onthe website at the Yamaha FZ1-S and thinking about maybe getting one. Will probably ride my bike over to Oxford after breakfast for something to do, and see what they've got in stock.

So anyone got one, what do you think of them? Very Happy

anyone who posts a lecture/comment/sarccy reply/pearl of wisdom about buying second hand and not buying new smells of eldererries, and can naff off, thankyou. Razz

I had an 05 or something as a hire bike for a few month's, good road bike but the suspension is far too soft as standard, A fair bit quicker than your hornet Smile

and comfortable I done 300 miles in one trip and had no bother .

GDIL!

Best quote so far £451 fully comp. Ouch. that's with 2 years ncb, and a licence for 15 years.

I'm paying about £150 right now. Sad
