Had a blat out yesterday with a mate, and did swappies. So I got a go on Fazer 600. To summerize the "my bikes better than yours" conversation we had... Fazer: Will's impressions. Very easy to ride. Upright sitting position, almost wants you to be sitting on tank. Bars don't feel wide enough, but that's a memory of the ex-Blane's B12. Brakes nice and sharp. Engines picks up well from low revs, but started feeling buzzy on fast A roads. Mini screen thingy looks slightly crap but works well. Suspension a little bouncy, but would probably be fine with a pillion. Turbo: Andy's[1] impressions. Stupidly violent kick when the turbo kicks in, which is fun. Just a shame that the brakes seem to come from a Rayleigh Grifter. Much harder to ride than the Fazer, but the pillion seat looks much more comfortable. [1] Not a ukrm'er.
