    Good Points: Reliability and performance excellent, a very roomy bike one up, and not bad two up. The old model like mine (2001) is very reasonably priced now, and they do make good all rounders, have hauled full givi luggage, camping gear and pillion to many rallies, carries extra weight well. Riding position and comfort is good, I have ridden mine 500 miles over a weekend, and no discomfort.

    Bad Points: The pitting of forks problem has affected mine too, due to laquered alluminium , the laquer breaks down and allows moisture under, the only cure being to strip the laquer and polish the forks off the bike. The fuel consumption seems a bit heavy, but then again putting about 95bhp through 600cc, approx 40 mpg is not too bad. The one at a time headlights could be better, but I have been told you can alter the wiring to fix this, I hardly do any night riding so it doesn`t really bother me.

    General comments: You can ride these bikes at 100 mph all day with no problems , really excellent value for money. Like all across the frame fours they are a bit buzzy and bland compared with a slow revving V twin or a triple. Superb brakes taken from the R1 make the bike stop on a sixpence if needed, and have not had any sticky calliper problems like a lot of bikes. I have no hesitation in recommending these bikes, and would certainly buy another.

    The Yamaha Fazer is a top bike, and I've had loads. I commuter over 100 miles a day on a 2000 with 30k on the clock and it feels like new... Comfy position and good acceleration - I'm a "larger" individual and it takes the weight well.

    I bought mine as a second bike for comuting on & general weekend use. It does everything you want, good riding position even for taller riders (I am 6'2") goes well from the lights with a good top speed plenty there for any rider! Make sure you buy good qualtity oil Castrol GP1 or simular, it will thank you for it & give you many trouble free miles. Stainless steel downpipes are a good investment if the origanal rot through (which the will in time). If you want a good all rounder as a first big ...

    Since buying my 2007 Yamaha Fazer I have been riding and touring with ease. The motor from the R6 is great, the riding position is good, the looks and fuel economy is fantastic. This is my first Fazer and I'm very impressed.

    The Yamaha Fazer is the best all round bike I have ever had. If you are a confident rider, this bike is good enough to mix it with the big boys in the country! No straight Lines obviously with the big boys!

    Mine is black with some accessories, most people like it and it is a good solid machine despite higher mileage.

    I bought a 2003 Yamaha Fazer 3 years ago as my first big bike and I have had no problems with it. It starts every time, the engine and gearbox are great and it handles brilliantly. Being a 2003 Fazer it is also the version on which Yamaha fixed the poor headlight problem. I would say the Fazer is a novice friendly bike that grows with you. If you want to know how good it is look how many couriers ride Fazers.

    Good bike. Will recommend. Quick throttle response, got 145mph easily with still more power and even could achieve higher speed.

    Lovely bike to ride. Hard to work on though and rubbish downpipes recommend taking off scrubbing and painting before winter. But Excellent performance for a small bike.

    Obviously, if buying a Yamaha Fazer second hand, try to make sure the engine has had regular oil changes. All other wear, tear and abuse can be easily spotted. Had 3 Fazers (2 600s 1 1000) been riding 30 years. Have now got 2001 600. For me it,s the best bike ever. Nothing has gone wrong with the ones I've had, despite going over 30,000 miles. It's engine is low maintenance, needing just oil, filters and plug changes. Tappets hardly ever need adjusting. The bike can do it all - commuting, tourin ...

    Since I have had my fazer which is 7 years, it has been a very reliable, enjoyable bike to have. Previous to the fazer I had an old z550 to break me back into the bike scene which we will say no more about. Replaced the headers with stainless, just yesterday after the bike had only done 20k. Also fitted jack up bars which I would recommend for improved cornering. I could go on, but you only have to look around to see how many fazers are on the roads.

    The Yamaha Fazer is a VERY good bike for the money and a real bargain now due to the slighlty star wars styling. Very tractable motor with lots of mid range, very comfortable, superb brakes, very good win protection & mirrors.

    I've had my Yamaha FZS600 Fazer 600 since I brought it new 8 years ago, fitted micron downpipes (originals rotted away) and a carbon can, changed the front sprocket by one tooth, takes off like a rocket now, renthal rear sprocket.I polished the rims small indicators and number plate. Keep looking at a kawasaki z1000 but cant bring myself to part with it. Highly recommend it to everyone. Good all rounder, two up or on your own giving it plenty.

    Turning it into Streethawk may seem like a good idea. However, you may get laughed at by your friends. I hand painted mine to look like an inter city 125 and boy did it go. Unfortunately I damaged the brakes up when doing this and ended up under the number 19 to Brent Cross. My previous bike was a Honda C90, I honestly had the taken less out of me when I had that. I guess buying a fazer is some sort if identity crisis. I am seriously thinking of jacking washing in and going to work as a ...
