Message-ID: <5471@sri-spam.ARPA> Date: Thu, 3-Apr-86 14:11:47 EST Article-I.D.: sri-spam.5471 Posted: Thu Apr 3 14:11:47 1986 Date-Received: Sat, 5-Apr-86 05:39:14 EST Organization: SRI International, Menlo Park, CA Lines: 20 I'm considering purchasing a 1986 Yamaha Fazer (not Phaser). FYI, this is the bike using the detuned FS750 engine, and which looks sort of like a Go-Bot. It being a new bike, there is very little info on how it actually rides. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has ridden one, owns one, etc.. Specifically, I want to know what kind of power it has, how much it has, how good the tires are at road holding, and how the bike handles in a lean and on curves. What I'm looking for in this bike is plenty of power, reliability, excellent cornering ability, and good handling on bumpy, twisty roads. Replys direct to me if possible, else to group. If enough people are interested and I get enough replys, I will post a summary to the net. Thanks in advance, Robert Allen robert@sri-spam.ARPA
