General Comments

I had my FZ1 for 1 year now, and is very happy with the bike. I had a FJR before the Fazer, and these are very different, especially in size and 'feeling' of size and weight. The FJR was a suberb long term tourer, and did fairly good in bendy roads as well, but the Fazer is a different animal in the bends.
The only 'unknown' is which tire that suites best on the bike; So far the Pirelli Corsa III has been the best, but they wore out too quickly. Metzeler M3 upsets the bike when it get's squared of after long use. So the next to try now would be either a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT or a Michelin Pilot Road 2. Tires DO make quite a difference on the Fazer, so I find it the most crucial part on the bike on the roads in my neighborhood.
There is a load of bikes out there, but there is no obvious replacement that springs in my mind to swap the Fazer with, I am very happy with the bike.

    I found this review unhelpful because...the reviewer appears to be reviewing the wrong bike - his model, the FZ1 is not the same as the Fazer 1000!
