vic-fzr600 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi Folks! Sorry ive not been about much recently - what have i missed??? Thought I had to share the news that the FZR is gone. Had enough of throwing money at it with no reward so sold it Bought a replacement already, commuting daily which is the whole point! Would love to buy another Fizzer in the future, but would def be as a project instead of daily rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic-fzr600 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 hi mate, hope it was another Yam? we're hoping to get a meet at the NW200 next year, so watch this space!! Afraid i've done the unthinkable & been unfaithful to the brand Have always wanted a big twin so went for it. However, I did buy my eldest son a PW50 for his 6th birthday so not a total loss. Will definately get another Fizzer sometime in the future, loved the 2 i've had but just had too much crap with the last one & need a reliable daily runner. Def keep me posted about the NW meet, I'll be heading that way with my mates (even got some free accomodation & secure parking sorted!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted November 8, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 8, 2010 Oh no you bought one of THOSE......... Bloke next door had one for 2 years. His only complaint was it drank fuel like mad. 30mpg and less. That may of been him of course. What are you going to do?, no running repairs, no suspect parts, wont corrode through the winter and comfortable for a sports bike. Where's the attraction, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the attraction, LMAO, Can definately agree about the fuel consumption - its a thirsty beast. However, think part of that is still down to the novelty factor of the noise. Also, theyre really lumpy at low revs so tend to kick down the gears too. Will ad pics when photobucket finishes its 'maintenance' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic-fzr600 Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 So I've gone from this TO THIS Well pleased! Though proof (if required) that i'm still a YAM fan... (thats my boy - so proud!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic-fzr600 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well, the twin keeps surprising! Previous owner had fitted a set of tyres purchased from someone who did track days - so they're basically scuffed slicks. As you can imagine theyre a real handful in this weather until they get warmed up. Ended up putting on a hell of a show for some schoolkids today as she spun the rear up & shook like a champ!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
