Hi,

From Bandit 600...

I want something a little bigger, but just as chuckable and as much fun. I
have a FJ1200 before: mad in a straight line but didn't like corners (or
stopping).

Today saw a Z750 and Fazer 1000, any comments on these, and what others to
look for.

Up to 5 years old and about 3k?

I haven't ridden one, but I reckon the Z750 is quite a lot of bike for
the money[1] and you'd probably get a year old one for about 3k.

In fact there's an '06 one on Autotrader for that.

[1] I considered a Z1000 a couple of years back and then realised that
the Z750 was almost ukp2k less than the thou.

But has far better forks, better rear shock, a rear hugger and a bit more
grunt. Specially in the mid range.
