when ppl grow older thinking will change mah.. haha sportbike sian liao lah so change to street bike lor can go touring somemore. He is taking his ckass2 next mth so he maybe upgrading soon lor.

good good.. go touring better.. shiok.. hehe..

 

h&b panniers are of great quality.. 1 of the super4 members has them on his.. think if the bike drop the boxes sure no problem wan.. but personally i think they are a little too wide for super4..

 

1 more thing abt side boxes.. u have to balance the weight in them.. eg. u cant put 1 side 10kg then the other side 5kg, get my drift? they are gonna affect your ride..

 

and since they open by the sides compared to lets say e21s which open at the top, during your ride it wont be easy to access your boxes for small stuff (eg gloves) unless u packed your stuff properly..

bros differ from 600 and 100 what is it?

It depends on yourself on wat you want cuz both hav their own style,both also can go touring both are good for street.

Which 1 you like best then go for it.

For me 600 is enough cuz I don go touring on long distance like Thailand often more on s'pore & m'sia road.

some more I am using d 600 as a spare for my despatch work and week end only

Yamaha FZ6 Fazer Wins `Best All Rounder' Award For The Second Year - November 4th 2004

 

Yamaha's versatile, high-performance FZ6 Fazer, took the prestigious Motor Cycle News 'All-Rounder of the Year' award at this year's International Motorcycle & Scooter Show, at the NEC, Birmingham. The Motor Cycle News Awards are recognised as the most important in the industry and for the second year running Yamaha's Fazer 600 took the prize.

 

MCN said: "A bike for life. If you want to ride all year round, go touring and embarrass sports bike riders on track days, nothing else will do."

 

The Fazer family seems to be unstoppable in this class, as the Fazer 600 and Fazer 1000 have taken this award for the past seven years.

 

Right from the very start the original FZS600 Fazer proved to be an outstanding success story for Yamaha. Shown for the first time at the Paris Show in late 1997, this truly versatile middleweight offered a winning blend of performance, style, easy handling and economy. The new generation FZ6 Fazer builds on the strengths of the original Fazer and offers today's riders even higher levels of engine and chassis performance combined with reduced weight, increased versatility and even more sophisticated styling. It's an exciting middleweight machine with a distinctive and original character that will deliver the goods - whether sports riding, touring or commuting. A deserving winner.

 

 

Yamaha also took a second Motor Cycle News Award with the Yamaha YZF-R1 winning the `Sports Bike of the Year' award, in the over 601cc category. MCN says "The R1 nudged its way ahead thanks to better-than-ever handling, space shuttle-like power and mind blowing brakes and suspension."

 

Marketing Manager Miles Taylor said "We're delighted that yet again our top performers have been recognised by the industry and Motor Cycle News. There's nothing better than having an award from motorcyclists for the bikes they hold in the highest regard, we're just delighted they chose the Yamaha R1 and FZ6 Fazer."

 

If you want to get hold of the award winning Fazer then now is a great time to buy, with the FZ6 Fazer retailing at £5,499 on the road and the FZ6 naked at £5,399. If the YZF-R1 is more your style, it sells for £9,399 on the road. For more information or details of your nearest Authorised Yamaha Dealer call 01932 358121 or visit http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk

If anyone wants to install sliders for the FZ1, i strongly recommend getting the original sliders from Yamaha...Yes, they're more expensive but they're very sturdy...

 

The motovation sliders are complete pieces of crap...My friend has them on his FZ1 and on our trip to thailand, he suffered an accident...Guess what happened to the motovation sliders? The sliders didn't even slide....They got bent inwards...Apparently, the long allen key screws to secure the sliders are not very strong....They tend to bend easily even if minor accident...As such, it offers very little protection and is more likely to damage your engine if the sliders bend inwards and hit against your engine block...

 

The original Yamaha sliders are more expensive but they're very sturdy as they're mounted on a metal bracket which are very rigid...I'm using the original Yamaha sliders and thus far, it has saved me from expensive repairs when my backside was kissed by a car...My bike suffered almost no damage expect for slight scratches to my exhaust...The sliders did their job well protecting my engine and my tank from damage...If the sliders were motovation sliders, i'd probably have to fork out money to knock and respray my tank...
