I am in my mid 30's, passed april 2009 DAS, brought my 1st ever motorbike a 2003 FZS 600 fazer, I have no friends who are bikers etc so did some research on net and it came up fine.
I love it, it is a great bike, has plenty of speed for me when I need it, easy to ride, lovely, i love it, was and still am very happy with it.
You will like it. Mine has yet to even touch 9 thousand miles and thats on a 2003, previous owner was a retired man who brought it and emigrated to spain. So it is in very good conidtion.
Check out that previous link about fazer owners club, some great guys on there. Also lots of good advice.
