Yamaha FZS600 Fazer

The firstgen Fazer 600 was, arguably, not as good as the Hornet it was competing against. And on the used market its probably an even less sensible choice, because theyre unlikely to have fared well over the last decade or so. But theres something brutal about the original tubeframed Fazer 600, with its finned engine and slotty headlights, that elevates it above the onpaper arguments. Maybe its just a little more masculine than the Hornet, with a hint of muscle bike about its stance. Maybe its the slightly more badboy reputation. The fact youre now most likely to see them commanded by wobbling, flourojerkined, ?under instruction? riders hasnt managed to dull their appeal.
