Staff Blog: Too Many Fazers, Too Little Time

Updated: 20 November 2014

I’ve not just been riding the Yamaha Fazer8 this week, for a forthcoming long term feature I’ve been out on my mate’s Yamaha FZS600 Fazer and the big brother of the range the FZ1 Fazer.

I was really surprised how easy and comfortable I felt hopping from one bike to the other. Each were quite similar to ride in some ways but very different in others. Unsurprisingly the 2002 600 version felt a little dated but it’s still a decent enough bike, whilst the 1000cc could easily be a licence loser.

It’s been an interesting little experiment and a good excuse to ride some different bikes, keep an eye on Motorcycle News for the full report.

Office Manager and centre of the MCN universe - Over my twenty plus years working for MCN, I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the best motorcycling family in the business. Passing my test in 2005, I’ve been part of the MCN Long Term Test fleet, testing a mix of machines, from my first Kawasaki ER-6n, through to the Ducati Diavel, and pretty much all genres in between. I love nothing more than loading my bike up with kit and disappearing off for a solo adventure. Over recent years I’ve taken solo tours to Scotland, Southern Ireland, France, Venice and Berlin. All of which have been great fun and whet my appetite for future riding jaunts.
