The Fazer 600 is the best bike by far that I have ever owned.
My engine is silky smooth with a tingle around 7000rpm
8000rpm is as high as I ever go, and then not often.
Insurance is ridiculously cheap. (3rd party) I am old.
The bike is rock solid and the clutch gearbox operation is superb.
Clonks into bottom when stationary.
I still have the original exhauste.
In fact since 1996 I have owned 2 Diversions (600) and the Fazer and never replaced an exaust/battey.
Miraculous really coz I dont do many miles.
The only criticisms I have are..
(1) Windshield create turbulence. True of all bikes.
Yes it is dont argue. I have lowered my screen and the turbulance has gone.
(2)The seat had a pronounced forward slope
I eventually decided to pack some foam underneath and now have a quite good riding position
All I hve done re maintenance is change the oil/filter every 2/2.5 K miles.
I use cheapish oil.
All in all a superb bike.
