recently took a part ex for my 1997 vfr, was having no joy selling it so took 1997 fazer 400 plus money as a trade in hoping to shift the fazer more quickly. i know this is irrational and even though i have my new vtec (02), i am sick and sad that my red one has gone, and it pains me to look at pics of old bike and the happy times we spent together. and now all i see is that horrible old fazer ( probably a nice enough bike in its own right ) but not the same and i resent it for that!! its kind of like breaking up with your first true love and going out with a girl you dont really fancy. any how my psychiatrist thought it would be good for me to get this down on paper as part of my ongoing therapy. only thing keeping me is going is my new 02 vtec and the last of my worries dissappear at 7000 rpm. yours tongue in cheek, noz.
Sounds like you miss the ole girl bad Noz....I know your pain. Just be sure to love and care for your 02 VTEC even more so now.
