    5 Stars The best bike in the world....probably. 05/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ease of handling, enough peformance, good underseat space, good economy, great workhorse

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Looks like darth vaders helmet, headlights are the worst I've ever seen, getting on a bit now !!

    ‘It looks like Darth Vader’s helmet.’ That was the first thing I said to my friend when I spotted a Black Fazer 600, while I was browsing EBay for a new bike. I’d always admired the Fazer, however never thought of buying one, until now. 46,000 miles? It’s been to the damn moon and back, I thought. More than 3 times the mileage on any bike I’ve owned before. Recently resprayed, scorpion slip on exhaust with no standard supplied? Been crashed then. No service history? Oh dear, it gets worse, I thought. But then I realised, I didn’t want to spend much money. After all, it’s mainly just going to ... more

    4 Stars Fazer 28/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Seat only good for an hours riding.

    All the reviews stated this bike is ideal for just about any type of riding, touring, commuting, fun days out and B road blasting. I bought mine in the Spring of 2004 and have used it for all of these types of riding and have to say it almost, not quite, but almost lives up to the hype. My bike a shiny blue one, R1 Blue I'm told, after scratching it once I found its listed as Deep Purlish Blue Metallic on the Yamaha paint supply lists, how's that for a colour? Still it looks great and is mainly blue but has a nice purple tinge when caught in the right light nice! Mine is a 2003 model with the ... more

    4 Stars Great 1st Road Bike for early Mid-Life Crisis 08/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Performance, Cost

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quality of finish disappointing, Falling Off

    I've wanted a bike for ages, used to ride scramblers as a teenager but never got around to getting one on the road till last year. It was simple really, wife has a baby and I decide to get a bike (and rid myself of disappointing Golf GTi in the process - see separate opinion!). I spent about 2 months doing my CBT then Direct Access training, all the while looking at the magazines and wandering around the local showrooms, my first intention was to get a Suzuki SV650S, great looking bike, but at just over 6ft tall maybe a little small for me. It was the magazine reviews and the suggestion of my ... more

    5 Stars Its Good To Be Back - to Biking 26/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good performance/handling

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Durability of paintword

    My last bike was 10 years ago, a Honda VF500. That was a v4 four stroke and reasonably powerfull at the time. I had to sell to buy a house and regretted it just about every day since then. Last year I remembered a 15 year old insurance policy and thought I'd find out what it was worth. When I found out it was enough for a new bike and change, that was it, policy cashed - ker-ching. I used uk.rec.motorcycles to get some idea of what bike to get, and of course all the bike mags. Originally I was thinking of a GPZ500 (cheapish to run, not too powerfull) but when I tried one out it was a bit too ... more

    4 Stars A bike for everyone 17/02/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Versatile, friendly but not boring

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Suspension!

    ....or at least it seems that way, the number you see on the road, and with good reason. The bike is comfortable for long luggage- laden runs - around Britain or intercontinental, it'll do anything without batting an eyelid - and it's reliable. I bought mine primarily as a fun bike (but with the ability to do the above aswell) I've yet to find it's limit although I've had some good lean angles on it and found it very confidence inspiring, and predictable if it does get a little out of shape. I run mine on Pirelli Dragons rather than standard Bridgestones because I prefer them - and the tyre ... more

    5 Stars fazer 600 25/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages superb handling. decent riding position.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages corrosion

    bought a fazer 600 as a first bike almost five year ago. Have since ridden almost 40,000 miles in all weathers inc. a trip to the Isle of Man TT races in 2003. This machine is an ideal first bike, excellent in cornering, good brakes and can be forgiving when slight mistakes are made. it's handling makes it superb on all roads including filtering through heavy traffic in town. it is also quite comfortable cruising along the motorway, with a good riding position and a good view from the mirrors. As with any bike it needs regular servicing the main points being the chain and brakes, which if not ... more
