There is a lot of congestion on the roads in the UK, the road surfaces aren't great and neither are some car drivers. A lot of roads have had their speed limits reduced from 60 or 70mph to 40 or 50 mph and there quite a lot of speed cameras fixed and mobile about
The Fazer 600 has a top speed of around 135mph, develops around a claimed 98bhp, can do 50 - 70 mpg (UK gallons) and has a great tank range.There are faster 600's and the Fazer is not perfect but it's still a great fun bike to ride in my opinion
