    She's a genius as a presenter. Her ability to sound interested in the opinions of a man who knows far less than she does is really impressive.

    That was the first one of these I've watched where the biker actually does a good job of negotiating for their chosen bike. Seems like he got a really good deal to me.

      He done that dealer really well, the dealer was lucky he didn't walk after taking a step back, the bloke dealt with that really well.

      I still have mine and no plans to sell it soon, fantastic bike. It is really a Sports Touring bike and I feel it has been under appreciated much. Rev it and goes fast, seating position is almost straight a bit forward only, very confortable.

  • @FatRakoon
    @FatRakoon 4 года назад +7

    By far, the best bike and most suitable for Mark, is the Fazer and by a friggin mile too!
    Why the hell he went for the ZX6, I will never know... Was it purely cos he rode it like a tool?
    I currently own a Fazer 6 and I have owened a ZZR6 and a ZXR750 and the Fazer is vastly superior to the Kwaks... Although I will be honest, but the ZZR6 was shockingly reliable, given the treatment I gave it, and it still lived on!
    The Fazer I have not had for long and I was never intending on getting it, but she is a real darling for me so far.

    • @zedddddful
      @zedddddful 3 года назад

      Well yam 600's used to toast second gear I'd have gone for the zx6r also but If I were him I'd have bought a sv650 instead of all of them.

    • @HalfdeadRider
      @HalfdeadRider 2 года назад

      Nah! Fazer's are shit! jk lol, but they should have got a newer 6r in for him, a '99 or 2000 model would be a much better bike (style, weight etc, even ergo's (I have a Y2k ZX9r, easy ride all day)). The price would not have been that much more considering how cheap they were new back then, and this was '04.

  • @jamiewood1802
    @jamiewood1802 3 месяца назад

    How the tables have turned. With the state of the roads in the UK now the Fazer is 100% the better bike. And it looks class now. You need a track for superbikes these days, and most people now enjoy bikes that they can ride long distances on/sport tourers/adventure bikes. Give me the FZ6 any day of the week.

    How can they judge reliability after a 15 minite test ride?

    • @Dennell_Mount_and_Blade
      @Dennell_Mount_and_Blade 4 года назад +7

      @King Brilliant You sound like a dickhead. They put in effort, and sure the show is not perfect, but they certainly give some good information to new riders and it's enjoyable enough to watch. Where the fuck is your show? The reliability number is a bit sketchy and I don't agree with it, but it's just to give new buyers a bit of advice and it's not completely off.

    The scoring was ridiculous. "Not as practical as the others so 7". Now guess how much he rated the other bikes? 7 and 7,5. He must have different shades of 7 in mind.
