If I decide that the new Speed Triple isn't too my taste, then I think that this will be on my shopping list. It's only £4699, so much, much cheaper than the Triple too.

A serious lack of midrange on the new FZ6, not a problem if you keep the revs high and like that IL4 scream.
Does look good tho, sort of like a speed 4 ;)

Yes, I'd prefer good midrange, which is what the Triple has in spades. However, the £3,000 price difference between the two might just swing it. I won't decide until I've test ridden the Triple. It may be that the Triumph has too much power to be fun on normal roads.

But it's a Fazer. :?:
But it's all black, with underseat pipes :lol:

If you are having test rides have a go on the Kwak Z750S ,pretty basic but I consider it good value for money
At the end of the day its what you like that counts

We had an irregular from the Massive turn up on a shiny new one of these on Friday - traded in his Cagiva Raptor for it. He said it looked nice and it started every time, even in the wet, but it was soulless.
He whised he;d gone for a naked SV thou instead and was off to see if he could track down his old bike yesterday.

I'd look at a naked SV Thou' before a Faser... The Faser is not the sort of bike you want to keep on the boil, unless you intend on gunning it everywhere. SV Thou makes much more sense and is a good backage too. It'll sound better too. Stick a touring seat and a few other bits on it and you'll have youself a real nice all rounder.

More of a courier bike that,,, :wink:
That's the 600, isn't it? Looks nice but no midrange.
They're bringing out a 1000cc one before too long, with the current Fazer 1000 engine. Much better :thumbsup:
Fair doos, it looks good in black, though.

Black is the new black apparently- but they keep on making all-black bikes with silver footrests :hackedoff: and fork lowers as well! It just spoils the package. If it had a silver frame it'd look better than this nearly-all-black, I reckon. Needs black mirrors too.
Still very nice. I don't want one, but it's nice.
Hmm. Why underseat pipes on a bike supposed to be a do-everything workhorse? Makes no sense at all. It's cool and all, but it seems to miss the point of the Fazer a little... And are the pillion pegs welded into the subframe?
£4699's a great price though...

to me it looks like the naked MV without all the cool bits on it :shock:
and in fact I believe that's just what it is, an Jap take on something the Italians had done already, alot cheaper, more practical, but as Debs said (and having seen it myself) no soul.
now admittedly not many of us have the £10k to spend on the MV, but this just leaves me cold.
the Z750 has an awesome engine, the brakes are OK rather than good and the forks need sorting, but given the choice between these two the Z750 would be my choice.
Cheers Mark.

TBH It does look nice, but I'd rather have a nakkid SV1000 (black, black, black :!:) :twisted:

Ah, maybe they have reembered what Fazers are supposed to be about after all :)

No choice yet. I'm still waiting for the Speed Triple test ride. They said early March, but this really isn't the weather for trying out a new bike. At the moment, if I don't want the triple, a low mileage Falco is looking like a better bet than the Fazer.

"SV Thou', SV Thou', SV Thou', SV Thou', SV Thou', "
Get the idea ???

I'm not so sure about it in all black, but thats just MHO :wink:
Under seat pipes... means you can't see your lovely after market system, you have no where under the seat to keep a toolkit, sarnie and disk lock, and TBH, having an exhaust out the side didn't seem to slow Rossi down too much last year :twisted: :lol:

Couldn't agree more, we need more black things that are properly black, with more black on top with a side order of black, and some extra black.
Am I getting through to you all, do you see what I want?
TBH It does look nice, but I'd rather have a nakkid SV1000 (black, black, black :!:) :twisted:
Like this one you mean?

I like that one, but blacker would be good, the blacker the better in fact.
Oh, nearly forgot: Even for all it's blackness - which is good - that Frazzle is Fugly.
