Black is the new black apparently- but they keep on making all-black bikes with silver footrests

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

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

)

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.

I'm not so sure about it in all black, but thats just MHO

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

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?

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.
