you mean after the mods to make it pretty? ( mirrors gone, sporty windshield) not to mention that the fazer1000 is more balanced in its design than the fazer600
for a magasine that claims the first official photo of the bike.. it sure is awfull quality, + it doesnt go with the design principles yamaha is putting on their new bikes. it looks like something that would come out of a suzuki factory, not a yamaha.
