Good places to find used bikes advertised?

[-Ralph-]

I'm talking late model Yamaha Fazer, 07 plate onwards.

I know there's quite a few good websites to find older bikes, but do you know of any that will be good for finding that kind of thing, other than Autotrader, MCN and ebay?

Also if you know of any dealers with good stock and good stock movement, that don't advertise on the above three, so it's worth keeping an eye on the dealers website?

I'd be looking on yam/fazer forums (if you haven't already)

As well as forums, check out sites like Gumtree (http://www.gumtree.com/cgi-bin/list_postings.pl?search_terms=Fazer+S2&search_location=United+Kingdom&ubercat=1) and oodle (http://motorcycles.oodle.co.uk/?q=Fazer+S2&oldq=Fazer+S2&inbs=1).

Would also say check out Brackley Yamaha but it was closed the other week so they may have gone under.

Got nothing against IL4's, so long as they got the guts. The Fazer 1000 feels very much like the SV in terms of power delivery between about 3 and 7k revs, then it goes 150bhp mental from about 8k. TBH I'd never get ride it much above 8k, as it has plenty of power for road use without needing to.

I'm not buying it for the engine, it ticks all my boxes in terms of an all-rounder, with loads of torque, modern chassis, comfortable for distance, decent for pillion, decent suspension, and decent brakes with ABS and half or full fairing. They are basically R1 parts bin specials.

I'd love a Sprint ST, but can't fit on one. The Bandit 1250 feels big and heavy compared to a Fazer, and the CBF1000 is just too boring. The VFR and Tiger I just don't fancy, and I can't particularly explain why.

What 100bhp+ sports tourer does that leave me with that has ABS and is not an IL4? I've looked for ages at what I want next and settled on the Fazer as the only option.

Back on topic, thanks everyone for the links above. I'm about to go have a browse.
