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.
