Default RE: Yes, it's a Yamaha!

The phazer was sold as a mini v-maw. 700cc, I believe. I will be checking it out, once I wake up from my sleep. My bad, I don't know much about the bike, myself. It is Fazer, not phazer. I know it was only made in 1986-1987. Found one on cycle trader... http://adcache.cycletrader.com/5/3/1/88739331.htmsee if this pulls anything up. Or http://www.bikepics.com/yamaha/fzx70...ember-pics.aspHere is a review of it http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/mo...eview29154.htmIn any event, it should be fun for her to get use to riding on the street. thanks for all the replies, I am really tickled about the prospect of her getting into bikes.

Well, we welcome her to the world of riding. Sounds like a heck of a deal. Many times people decide after the MSF they don't really want to ride so at least you're out nothing. My guess is she'll get bit hard by the bug. Mine did and has been riding now for 3 yrs...

The phazers are cool little bikes. I had a buddy who had one and he could smoke my **** on it out in the mountains. I was riding a 750 Magna then, but thatpahzer is a great handling bike. Good bike for your wife to start out on. BTW, save it for one of your kids. That machine is in AWESOME condition. CongratS!

Cool! You'll end up buzzing around on it too, I'll bet. Great fun for the both of you.....and she may not want to "graduate" to a larger bike! Many wives ride another brand than a HD......who cares as long as they can handle the bike and are enjoying it.

Give the fazer the respect it deserves. I've ridden them before and they are pretty powerful bikes.

Papa, Congrats toMrs Papaon her scoot. That's a real nice bike.[sm=smiley20.gif] The MC safety course is money well spent. I took the HD one after a 15 year layoff from riding last year. I'll bet that bike handles like a dream, reminds me of my 85 Honda NightHawk S I used to have, and still wish I had.
