Go for it - My wife rides a Fazer 1000 (she'd had it since 2003). It uses a set of tyres every 7k miles (Pilot Road's), gets around 200 - 210 miles per tank of fuel, has cheap services (valves don't need adjusting very often), is easy on chains and has been utterly reliable in 7 years - still on the original battery (always on an optimiser when not in use), never used any oil in between changes (I change the oil about every 2.5k miles). On top of that it's really comfortable and Liz loves the power - sher's toured Europe on it loads of times, sometimes with one of the kids on board and she's even had it round the Nurburgring - so have I, but it decked out a bit in places where my Aprilia RSV doesn't - and didn't in places where my FJ does. For real sporty riding I'd suggest changing the rear shock - Hagon do a quality, uprated, adjustable and rebuildable one for under £300

The only niggle has been the EXUP valve which sticks occasionally - slight problem for me because Liz wanted the full fairing lowers and they're a fiddle to take on and off - but apart from the lowers, it's an easy and pretty quick job - you can see them on the pic below.
