Default The new bike!

Hi all, been lookin around for another bike for a wile. My budget was 1000€ and wanted something like a fazer, bandit , Hornet etc.
Came across this the other day and bought it this evening!its00 not mint but clean and well looked after bike. New c&s plugs full service went into it.

Best part is I got it below my budget figure!

Hope it all goes good for you.

At that age on a fazer have a good look at the exhaust, they can corrode through.
Also check the forks for serious pitting or cracks in the chrome.
The rear caliper tends to seize up so check your rear disc for signs of wear or cracks.

Apart from that they are a pretty solid machine.
Enjoy it man.

Nice bike. Hope you looked up insurance before you bought it though.
Check out liberty and Carol Nash.
Cheapest for me at 26.

definitely take the rear caliper off and clean it. they get clogged up with brake dust because of the way they're mounted.
