    I had a 2007 one, loved it to bits! Went from pussy cat to wild cat in the blink of an eye.

    You will be wanting this address then mate
    www.foc-u.co.uk

    Trust me you wont need to change the gearing to get the front wheel up

    The only thing I might suggest is perhaps a power commander specially as you may go the akra route

    most of all enjoy mate, It will be a completely different animal to the GSXR ;D

    rode an fz6 (I think....) the 600cc fazer a while ago. Riding position wasn't to my taste, but went, handled and stopped well. Looked well made too.

    So I baught a fz1, it is absolutely foooooking awsome! I love it. I baught the bike with new high comp pistons and crank, ported and polished witha full akra system and a pc3! it was running a bit surgey and lumpy. So I baught a pc5 and had it remapped and it is now running 183.6 bhp, its an untaimed beast!!!!!!!!! you were saying they dot wheelie well....... it lifts the front up in 1st-4th by itself and I even maneged to clutch up at 120 ish today! its insane!

    it still is lovely to poodle about on also, and feels sagfer on rainy days.

    Tank range is only 100 miles and it tears up rear tyres.

    But overall I love it :-)

    The bike was 1 previous owner and 2k on the clock, its 07 plate with many lovely extras. All for £5500. bargain :-)

    Sounds stunning. Great bargain.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.
