don''t get me wrong there is plenty of power and enough power for my liking - what I found was that the delivery was waaaaaayyyyyy too smooth for what I expected and I would have liked it to be a bit naughtier.
Reason why I have not checked the speed triple or the truono is wind cover....although the fazer looks and handles like a streetfighter you can still get a touring screen for it - nothing to put on the speed triple or the trueno tbh |

You'll noo belevie it, but the STREET triple (mentioned earlier) felt no different in terms of wind protection to my fully faired sv.
Wasn't at all windy under the helmet, just a reassuring push on chest, i was surprised, 600+ just get out there and try it, its free! lol you could definatley do some motorway milage, perish the thought! Ive pretty much thought of nothing else since i rode it, and i rode the supposedly better tiger, but it wasnt for me (and thats a head 2 head contender to the Fazer1000) Edit- Oh did i mention its a mere £5.3k OTR thats a bargain........ mmm .... bargain!

the bike i test rode was a demo with 400miles on the clock - the triple is out of the question as if I wanted a naked no fairing I would stick with my SV - nothing wrong with it

I once had a short ride on a Carbed Fazer 1000. The riding position was wierd after the SV, but i found that the suspension was smooth as silk and smoothed out the surfaces that the SV pogos around on. It was tipping in much easier and faster than the SV very confidence inspiring.
I didn't rev the bike over 8k but it was really smooth and i was amazed at how it just gathered speed!! Really want to get on one now and get it up to the top of the revs after what Beenz said. I am seriously thinking about chopping my SV in for a fazer thou in the spring, because I commute 80% of the time. I think the fazer would be more comfortable and effortless and have the performance and handling to keep me happy at the weekends. I hated the SV when i took it on the motorway to london in the rain and i think the fazer would be miles better for going off on long trips to see my mates. |

the old Fazer 1000 is a totally different bike than the new FZ1 Fazer. The FZ1 is smaller, more compact, lighter to steer and more aggressive on the throttle. Both excellent bikes, but very hard to say something about one while having ridden the other...
