Burgess118 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Cost: £1900 Miles on the clock: 14,000 Where bought: Weatherleys, Harleston, Norfolk (http://www.weatherleysmotorcycles.co.uk/) Why a Fazer600: Good Value, Good all rounder, Tried and tested pick of the yamaha parts, excellent web reviewsPros: Mechanically Sound, R1 breaks that work really well, detuned Thundercat engine solid for many many miles, Good MPG- 60 mpg, had no issues with wind bolting me in the face. Quickish 600, Straight inline 4= smooth! Dainty in the bends- really agile my friends all think its easier to dip in bends, Im 6ft 4, 13-14 stone, and i dont feel like a freak! Comfortable ride. Cons: Downpipes tend to rot, stainless steel replacements dont suit as much as the black 4 into 1. Ive got the original can, and though it doesn't bother me, it does sound like a sowing machine. The fairing does have a bit of an 80s vibe, but still doesn't look badMine: its the red and black colour scheme and the S model, which came after 2000, 2L more fuel tank (20L), pillion set higher, pillon pegs better positioned. Mine looks lovely, when i bought it, in the last 5 years it had 6 services and had only covered 1200 miles... rides like new! No issues have come up. I must say im so happy that this is the right bike for me. Couldn't have imagined it being any better than it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forest1183 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I had one, nice bikes. Look out for an issue with the front sprocket coming loose/stripping threads, this was a recall and should have the nut replaced with a thicker one. If it hasn't been done buy it for a few quid and do it yourself as mine had started to go on a 2001 bike. Also rust on the cradle of the frame, get the bubbling paint off, treat and repaint.

Burgess118 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 I missed last week's issue, ruddy typical! Ill have a scout online, the issues do kick about online for free. What is that bike, zoomed in can't make a badge out, or recognise the model.If its a bargain price why not! You should make some $$$$ out of this, you find all the bargains.. and real good bargains at that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
