[GSGabes]

Hi ppl,

 

I will be getting a Fazer 600 soon and would like some reviews and opinions about the Bike. Anyone?

 

According to the forums in Europe, The Fazer 600 seem to perform relatively well.

 

The Bike is at 95HP with torque at 61.2Nm @ 9,500rpm.

New noise and emission laws will mean the end for Yamaha’s Fazer 600

 

The new Whole Type Approval laws come into force on June 17.Noise levels are cut from 80db to 82db, and emissions are cut by 60% from current levels.

 

With the Fazer failing these requirements, it can’t be registered as a new bike after the June 17 deadline. It will still be perfectly legal to own and ride, however. In a bid to shift remaining bikes, Yamaha are offering a new 0 per cent finance deal. You could also be offered a healthy discount on pre-registered Fazers.

these new laws, is the article local? if it is local, does it mean that we can no longer purchase a new FZS600? if the article and the law it refers to is not local, does it mean yamaha is ceasing production of the FZS600?

Hong Leong no more Fazer 6 on display, went there last week.

The lady quoted me 14.9k leh. What's the market price now? Most shops selling around 14.7k like that... insurance for a 26 year old. Maybe COE go up (No more $1). De Xing selling for 13.8k but 2nd party insurance.

Check out t.w.o magazine July 2003 edition Pg 008. There's a picture of the new Fazer 6!!

 

Extracted from the article :

The new bike is expected to use the R6 motor, as it was mainly the noise from the ex-Thundercat lump that failed to meet the guidelines. The more modern R6 motor is quieter than the outgoing Cat's. This will also give the Fazer plenty of extra poke.

 

Wah..maybe should have waited before buying my Fazer6.

 

But it's ok. Cannot wait any longer to get my Fazer.

 

To me the Fazer's sound is already quiet (compared to two stroke bikes). Wonder how quiet the authorities wants the engine to be.
