Default Re: new fazer?

I got the chance to ride one for 2 days when my TeDiuM was in for its service at the dealer's . And overall it is truly a great bike. Very short and compact, handles exceptionally well, although slightly wider handle bars would benefit it even more.
The top fairing does its work very well, you are at 200+kph before you realize. And the power..., well the power is simply impressive. feathering the throttle gives you a serious kick in the but at any rpm. That is also its main downside, it reacts very aggressively to even the slightest twist of the wrist. Great fun though. Perhaps a bit overpowered for general road use as at 200kph in 4th gear the bike still had some way to go before getting to the red zone and than there are still two gear to go...

As for looks, I like the naked FZ1 a lot better
