Posted: 23:21 - 01 Jan 2018 Post subject: Surprised Myself |
|
|
Well after having my Varadero stolen 12 days before Xmas and then Judith's Cagiva on Xmas day morning I became bikeless. I saw two CBF 1000 that looked interesting at Macclesfield Superbikes, so off I went to have a look. My budget was limited and these bikes appeared to fit the bill. When I got to Macclesfield I looked at the bikes and instantly disliked them. So I wandered around and looked. I was really after a bike similar to the Varadero, budget said a Triumph Tiger that was there, but it just didn't do it for me. While I was looking I kept on going back to a certain bike, one I would not normally even have on my bike list, but it just kept ticking boxes. Full luggage, fairings, 1000+ cc, can tour and commute on it, comfy.
Well I have surprised myself and bought a Yamaha FJR 1300. Just getting used to it as it is very different from the big V twins I have been riding for 20+ years, but I'm enjoying learning about it. Just need to put my gizmos on it now. ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty. " Stop pushing me "

2 bikes nicked in 2 weeks, I think I'd be quite focused on beefing up security or moving ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Enjoy the FJR. I've had mine for 7 years - great bikes. Worth checking to see that the rear suspension linkage has been serviced recently. It's often neglected by dealers. Great forum, full of info here: www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk/ |
