I fail to understand comments like that completely AndyI loved both my Fazers - in the real world the 600 was every bit as good as the 1000. Great brakes - the brakes the Bird could have or perhaps even should have had....?
Fair comment john. I just happen to prefer the brakes on the Fazer to anything else I have ridden. Can't explain it or even justify it.I fail to understand comments like that completely Andy
I can stand the Bird on its nose no problem.. I know cos the first time I did it was a complete accident and totally unexpected!
You are comparing 190kg bike to a 230 kg one.. And knowing the way we all tend to stick extras on proly more like 240-250kg
My definition of good is ' can I lock the wheels at 70 'Fair comment john. I just happen to prefer the brakes on the Fazer to anything else I have ridden. Can't explain it or even justify it.
Personal view - the brakes on the Bird are good but could be better - good enough but not really good.
There, I've said it!!
Locking the wheels at 70 sounds like a great idea.......My definition of good is ' can I lock the wheels at 70 '
Anything more is OTT
Oh it really is...'specially when its done by accident !Locking the wheels at 70 sounds like a great idea.......
I have never understood why ABS isn't available on more bikes. I,would guess that a large proportion of bike accidents involve lock ups one way or anotherOh it really is...'specially when its done by accident !

the 600 is defintely an all round better bike that the thou. My 600 has 139500 miles on her nowI loved both my Fazers - in the real world the 600 was every bit as good as the 1000. Great brakes - the brakes the Bird could have or perhaps even should have had....?
I'll bet that everyone on here, but everyone, has locked a wheel at some point.
Don't really wear this macho 'you can't ride a bike properly if you need ABS' stuff ... anything that helps you stay upright has to be a good idea.
My car has launch control - I can't get anywhere close to the 0-60 time that achieves by switching every driver aid off and going bareback.
