My Fazer8
My Fazer8
This is my current Bike, a 2016 Fazer8. I got it about two years ago as a replacement for my old 97 Africa Twin.
Because I mentioned it in the post, here´s my previous and also first Bike right before I sold it. I had it for 10 years and sold it for a little more than what I originally paid for it.
You can't ask for better than that! Well done on the sale. There's something special about those first bikes. Keep those pictures and memories forever! That Fazer8 is a good-looking bike as well. Big fan of the color palette on that one. Have you been happy with the Fazer8?
I was a bit sceptical back then if such a huge bike with a center of gravity so high would be a wise choice as a first bike. But once I have ridden it, I was in love! I still rejoice whenever I spot one of them old ones out in the wild.
That Fazer is the perfect small step up from the AT. It has more power but not excessively so. It still has good wind protection but not as insane as the AT had. And it was also pretty cheap to come by, altough not as cheap as the AT was back then. It´s the perfect dad bike and I´m a bit sad that this type of bike, naked in the back, proper fairing in the front, with a nice windscreen, has become so rare. You get either full on naked, full on sport or real heavy tourers.
That AT looks well loved. Did you try out the new one yet?
That's such a nice looking bike.
