Bike upgrade - advice needed

Hi All,

first post so go easy!

I passed my test last year and have been riding around on a cb500 since then.

I now have the funds for a newer bike £3500 + around £750 - 1000 for the CB500

and am seriously considering the Fazer (old or new I like em both). I dont like the hornet, sv or the bandit. I want to stick to between 600 - 800cc

What will the fazer 600 feel like compared to my cb500, will I notice a substantial difference in power etc.

help muchos appreciated

The easiest way to find to find out how different a fazer will be compared to your CB500 is to get a test ride on one. Have a look on Bike Trader to find a dealer near you with one. Go along and have a look at it, talk to the sales man about it and then ask for a test ride. Don't just walk in and ask for a test ride as that doesn't look like you're interested in buying the bike which is why they'll let you have a test ride.
