Review I've had it for 3 years now and have been very pleased so far.As an OAP & a BOF I needed something not too heavy,handles well,reliable & comfortable.I bought this from a car garage,it wasn't in the best of nick but I had read the reports and the Fazer was well recommended by all and sundry.It has been all that I hoped for & more: It has a comfortable seat but was a bit slippy and I kept squashing my n**s till I adapted!The sit up & beg handle bars are perfect,no aching wrists,hunched back,creaking knees and the fairing kept the wind and rain off to some extent but still buffeted at higher speeds.I have done 200 miles non stop without too much discomfort on more than one occasion.In fact it seemed just made for me,I am 13 stone and 5ft 9ins.It is quite a forgiving bike,handling is good and it can be thrown about with gay abandon,goes round corners and where I generally want it to go.It is not too heavy at approx.180kg;I know because I picked it up when I dropped it whilst doing a tight U turn trying to park it on a field.Thankfully no damage except my pride. Reliability has been no problem at all,it has had routine services when required at reasonable costs.It is bog standard,I dont believe in performance enhancing ,loud illegal exhausts etc.Yamaha know far more than I do so why muck a good thing up.I have fitted a hugger,Scott oiler,mud flap,crash bars and a Givi rack:sensible and practical items. Performance is more than adequate,it pulls well when accelerating in lower gears but really takes off when you hit 8/9000 revs.I have never,ever red lined a bike so I don't know what it is like to scream it.I go out with 4 friends regularly,all with bigger bikes and much younger,I am content to stick at 80mph,occasionly touching a ton (125mph twice).I am never far behind and ride within my ability.MPG is brilliant,52+ giving over 200 miles to a tank.It still has good old fashioned carbs which have never gone out of balance. The brakes are derived from the R1 and are more than adequate for my needs but there again I have never had to slam on so I don't know what to expect when it it is dirty underpants time!The suspension is firm but doesn't throw me off when going over bumps. The gear box is notchy and goes with a clunk when starting off but is nice and smooth when on the move and combined with a sweet clutch. Running costs are reasonable,servicing not too expensive and so far has been consumables.I got 8500 front & 7300back from Bridgstone tyres I fitted.Chain & sprockets were fitted at 15000miles.It has passed the MOT each time but an advisory notice was given this time to say brake pads are due for renewal. The overall finish is okay but needs TLC over winter.Fasteners fur up,down pipes,frame go rusty and brakes seize up if not attended to.Surprisingly the body work has kept its colour,blue,and shine very well but the engine paint,black,has flaked off. I have been back on bikes for 14 years after a break of 23 years and these Japanese bikes are far superior in every way over the old British bikes;and so they should be;I have been very happy with my Fazer and would recommend one to anybody but it doesn't quite match up in desirability to my VFR I bought new in 1998 and had for 5 years.

Review Being a bit of a cheapskate I opted for a restricted test so until my 2 years are up this bike is restricted to 33bhp. I had looked at many bikes but kept coming back to the Fazer as the only downside in reviews seemed to be its thirst for fuel. I've clocked 160 miles from full before chickening out & filling up again so not sure what you'd actually get. The fuel dial is dependable on whether your facing uphill or downhill & can go from quater tank to full & vice versa within a few meters. The engine is responsive & ticks over lovely, having owned it since April I've never yet had to use the manual choke to get started. Many people will scorn at my 33bhp restriction but the Fazer still does 100mph which is enough to get you banned on UK roads. The bike seems quite heavy so I guess that's good for a newbie to get used to handling. Image wise the bike isn't a head turner but then that's a good thing. Roll a new sports bike onto your drive & you'll get noticed so better have all your security top notch cos people will want it. I live in a rough area & thus far (touch wood) my Fazer has been safe in a side alley with a flimsy wooden door. Seems to stand up well to UK weather despite the relative neglect (cleaning's really not my thing) I've given it. Brakes are apparently off a R1 which you don't notice on day to day riding but on going into a corner too fast I applied them hard & they hit hard, worth bearing in mind if you want to stay the right side of the handlebars. Had to change the battery this week which with my lack of bike knowledge I was dreading, however turned out to be a doddle on the Fazer so hoping other maintenance proves as easy. All in all glad I went for the Fazer. I intend to derestrict it & keep it after that. Sadly I'll probably be its last owner as I intend to keep it until it doesn't go any more.

Review So far, I’ve been a bit reluctant to write a review on my Fazer. I think the fear of me finding faults with it would put me off and have me scanning the pages of UKbike for a new machine! The Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer (2000 model) has got to be one of the most underrated bikes I know. I think the looks turn people away from it, but once you’re riding, you’ll find it a most pleasurable experience. On first impressions, it’s looks will put you off. It certainly isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing bike to look at, but as the overused cliché goes ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’. The engine is a detuned Thundercat engine (or so I am told!) which can throw out around 80-90 bhp. Doesn’t sound like much I know, but you hit around 5000 revs in the right gear and it’s one almighty punt up the rear end when you crack it open. Top speed is a claimed 135mph but I haven’t been there on it… *Whistles and rolls eyes*. 2nd gear will see you up to 70mph quite happily and a quick shift to third will keep the acceleration at the same pace. The delivery of power is smooth and efficient without stuttering or jerkiness. Downside ot it is the manual choke, but it’s easy to get used to. My Father rides a Fazer too and says he doesn’t need the clutch at all on warmer days, but mine does. It’s not a hassle tbh. A full tank will see 200miles at a push. The light will be shining at you, begging for attention, but it is possible. I filled up in Norwich and rode all the way to Brighton on one tank! Hard to believe maybe… but true. Before the government decided it wanted more money out of us, a full tank would cost in the region of about £17. The ride is really comfortable. The Fazer was designed as a sports/tourer and it certainly does the job well. The seat is nicely padded and bars aren’t slung low so a natural seated position can be achieved… well, a natural biking seated position can be achieved, it’s not like a Harley or anything! Your back won’t suffer and your wrists don’t kill when you get off after a 200mile stint. I’ve ridden sports bikes before and I just can’t get on with the position. The Fazer accommodates nicely in this department. The ride height might be an issue for shorter riders, and it is heavy too (compared to the more modern bikes) so you won’t want to drop it on your own! As I mentioned before, it’s a sports tourer, so it’s set up for comfy, long distance riding. You can get your head down for short stints but you’ll find yourself naturally sitting upright again. The suspension can be soft in the corners. Probably a little too soft as a few times now I’ve tucked it into a corner and felt the front compress just that little bit too much. A quick tightening should sort that issue out. Pillions won’t suffer either as the seat is one unit, not two. Grab rail at the rear allows for large gloved hands and the pegs are positioned so your knees aren’t wrapped around your ears. Maintenance to the engine is easy. Being half faired means the engine is open for tinkering with without the rigmarole of removing fairings and plastics. Case in point, an oil and spark plug change took all of 20mins (Plugs are a little hard to get to) compared to the 20mins it took my mate to get the fairing off his GSXR K4… then start on the changes. The half fairing works wonders on the roads. The screen deflects the wind admirably and does a good job of punching through it too. Some riders might want to put a belly pan on as this isn’t a stock feature. A centre stand is slung underneath, again making maintenance a breeze. Recently had to have the rear tyre changed and due to complications, had to ride the bike to the garage and remove the rear wheel myself. Without the centre stand this couldn’t be done so I’m more than happy having it there. Removal of the seat reveals the battery and fuse box, making changes here a breeze too. One definite down point to the Fazer is the lights. The front lights are absolutely rubbish! Many a time I’m told that one of lights are out and every time I have to explain that it’s supposed to be! To tell if the lights are working you will need a strong torch than seeing the end of the road with the stock lights so I highly recommend changing them at the first opportunity. Full beams are ok, but again, a Xenon bulb wouldn’t go amiss. I think it’s like this because in Japan, everywhere is lit. Lights aren’t really used to see where you’re going, more to announce your presence… well, this is my thought on it anyway. Insurance can be very cheap. Because it’s a low group, TPFT with 1 year no claims saw me spending just over £300 for a year. That was last year so I’m looking forward to seeing how much it’ll be this year. Colours vary. I’ve seen Red, Blue, Black and Purple! (This could have been a paint job however!) Mine is Gold, and I think it looks great. I get a few grimaces when I mention that but upon viewing the bike, the inquisitor generally changes their mind. Overall, it’s a brilliant machine, does exactly what it’s supposed to and doesn’t complain about it. Just remember, don’t be fooled by its looks! Underneath that unpretty face is an engine that it raring to go and keep going until the last drop of fuel has been spent… and then it keeps going!
