So lately i have been toying with the idea of selling the fazer.
Don't get me wrong it's a plenty of bike for me and truth be told it does more than I need, but I am just not excited by it.
I need a bike that will put a big smile from ear to ear everytime I see it/ride it. Fazer just doesn't do it for me anymore.
I have test ridden already the BMW F800R, Harley Sportster 1200 and this saturday I will test ride Triumph Speed Triple and I am working on my way to test ride the Ducati Monster 1100.
The BMW was pretty nice, but the tranny seemed inferior to our FZ6's. I don't know maybe I needed to get used to it, but it just didn't seem all that precise. Other than that it's a very utilitarian bike. Bigger engine, better components but it does pretty much everything and more than FZ6 does. Not much of an upgrade other than the premium price.
HD 1200 Custom is a nice bike, but ever since I crashed on my Honda Shadow I am pretty uneasy ridding cruisers. It's a nice bike but just seems like a big downgrade in terms of performance compared to Fazer. Of course comparing sport bikes to cruisers is akin to comparing apples to oranges, alas HD is out.
I am pretty excited to test ride the Speed Triple this weekend. We'll see what happens.
My other option is to do a naked conversion but I don't know but that might be just a temporary band aid.
