I'm curious to know which year model bikes are more on road, alive and breathing.

Please specify if your bike is sleeping inside your garage, which is very rare for any owner to leave the Fazer to be left alone, not riding, at least seasonally.

Mine is the 2009 model it as almost 4.000 km's because it was bought 0 km's in last September.

I ride it every week at most, because I also use the 125cc of my girlfriend to work.

With the introduction of new models the Fazer started to be left behind and some dealers still had some of these... I think mine was the last Fazer with 0 km's being sold in Portugal.

I'm on an 06, bought end of 2013 with 9800 miles. Just rolled over 33,000 plus change. I don't know why the previous owners even bothered with it. On the MOT history you can see it did less than 60 miles in a couple of years.

Good going 10k+ per year. May be some family problems.
My previous owner rode less than 1000 miles in 4 yrs, as he is a law student, passionate about bike, but has to stick to family and books for his law study.
I'm a wanderlust fellow, with FZ6 is my only vehicle, riding 1000+ per month.

Could you please participate in the poll.

An interesting poll would be how many are still the original owner since new? I'm betting it's a very small percentage.

I bought my bike in the spring of 2007, but it was a leftover 06. I have put over 100k miles on the bike and still going. Most riders will either sell their bikes for whatever reason or they will be involved in a crash and total the bike due to their lack of riding experience or risky behavior/habits.

I bought my 2004 brand new, took delivery on April 2, 2004. It now has nearly 51,000km on it.

This morning I stopped at a light next to a guy on a silver FZ6. I opened the window and greeted him, I like your bike, I have one too. He said yeah great bike but old. I said mine is 2004, he said his too, then looked at his speedo and said it has 107,000km on it :eek: and the engine has never been opened.

2006 - Faster Blue

Ridden daily to work (28 miles/day) as long as it's not raining or below freezing.

I bought it brand new and it's sitting at 22,000 miles. It would have a lot more miles but I also have a cruiser I use for touring.

I'm the second owner of my '06. Bought with 5k, now has 24k after four years of tours, track days, commuting, and anything else I could throw at her.
