fazer6 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 A friend who has been away from bikes for far too long keeps taking the p*** out of me for having a fazer and asking when I'll get a 'proper' bike. I can only presume he knows nothing about how damn fine my pride and joy is, he reckons when he was riding (many years ago) fazers weren't very good. I've tried to find info about my 2003 fazer and can only find the newer model info. I'd like to know the 0-60 and bhp/tonne, anyone have any ideas?

Bazz Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 :hi to the forum Fazer6! I'm picking up a Fazer myself later this week and selling my Divvy 900, so I was looking for similar info yesterday! The standard bhp is 95 at factory settings but if you change the exhaust/engine set-up you can easily acheive 110 :twisted: If there are no mods done at all then the bhp delivered at the wheel will reduce over the years as the engine wears. The top speed (without any mods) is 141mph, but I couldn't find any info on 0-60/0-100. I would guess its gonna be around 4-5 seconds? :wink: Tell your friend, if he thinks Fazers aren't "very good" and slates the performance, then if he ever considers getting another bike, he Definately needs to get some refresher training before he does somthing stupid!

fazer6 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 I know Bazz how dare he say that about my pride and joy, and lets face it I'm 25, 5'4", 8 stone and female, jeez I think I'm doing pretty well to actually have my own bike. Performance-wise I can't fault it, I use it to commute and to go out to play at weekends and it does does all I need it to. Being small kind of cuts down my choice anyway, I had a sit on a fazer thou last night and couldn't lift it off the side stand. Kind of gutted really as I always thought I'd move up to one when I 'grow up'. My so called friend tried to say it wasn't very good at cornering and kind of barbled on about it not being very quick... To be honest I reckon he's just jealous that he has nothing and I have a lovely piece of machinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer6 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Yeah or better still, Get him on the back of yours and watch him S**T himself He's actually said he'd never go on the back of me, I reckon it's just male pride, that and the fact that he's twice my weight. That'd be a funny sight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 :-k mmmm, Female, 25, 5'4", 8 stone, plays out at weekends, AND rides a Fazer! :loved :wink: To be honest, if your "friend" thinks they're not very fast and no good for cornering, it just shows their own ignorance and lack of ability as a rider!

fazer6 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Yeah exactly he's just jealous because #1 I have a bike and he doesnt, #2 I have a new bike (well OK a year old now but still only owned by me) and he doesnt, #3 I look damn fine in leather and he doesn't. Most blokes are happy enough if their other halves don't complain if they have a bike, even happier if they agree to go out on the back, and would be chuffed if they had their own bike. Thanks for all the votes of confidence everyone next time he dares to say anything about my lovely bike I'll just point out that he's showing his ignorance and should read up on how much of a fantastic all rounder my fazer is.

beerbaron Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Just shut him up by racing him on a 1/4 miles track. He'll then shut up with it's factory car and agree that your bike is fiine. BeerBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karban Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I remember seeing in a german bike magazine that tested it 3,4s 0-100km/h. (Same magazine tested the new FZ6, 3,5s 0-100km/h http://www.motorradonline.de/d/131413/?tem...d_bi_datenblatt) And i've seen data showing 12,3s time for qt.mile. http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/rivals_motos.htm All standard. I recommend downgearing, more fun that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
