The Fazer would also be the perfect mount to hoon around my local twisty country roads on. And it wouldn't be a bad choice for the commuter who has a mix of town and motorway riding to cope with but wants a bike he can have fun on come the weekend. It's nimble and fast and the ultra-compact R1 engine means it's very narrow for a four cylinder bike perfect for slipping between lines of slow moving cars. Then hop off to a track day where it'll be plenty capable of giving some of the real sports bikes a run for their money. The FZ1 is very easy to ride fast and this will go in its favour on any track. This is where the real attraction of the Fazer lies, in its ability to cope with a variety of roles.
