i do like the fz1, but havent got enough money to get one. my initial thought were to change the motor for the fireblade one, but ive been told all i will need to do to take it back up to fireblade spec is to change the cams, valves, sort the stupid exhaust, and remap. however i think an engine swap with a newer 929 balade would be better. then get around 150-160 bhp with some extra tuning, and betetr gearbox, shoudl make it a decent bike.
as for the fazor, i dont like the look of it, they done a good job on the new fz1, but older models suck. as for the bandit, i do love the power of it, but the quality of it really does suck!!! build quality and materials are awfull.

as for streetfighting a blade, it would still be a blade and quiet expencive to insure. the hornet is dead cheap to insure, even if i dont change much on it.
