The Honda came up at the right price first, so that's the way I went. But I almost wish I had waited - the FJR is the better bike, I think. And if it's better than the Honda, it must be great. A big bike that can hustle too - what more could you want?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175232067651507317.post-68218909629857115032010-09-23T20:06:05.287-05:002010-09-23T20:06:05.287-05:00Beautiful bike.

I too like it when saddlebags can come off a bike quickly - that makes them really useful and more like luggage than bags on a bike. Have you given it a name yet?

Back in my younger & single days it would have been a great "chick magnet". :)<br /><br />Raftnn - It will eat up some miles and in a hurry if I roll on it. 4 weeks without a bike was rough. Luckily some good friends let me ride their bikes - a Buell Lighting, Harley Electra-Glide, a Venture, and a V-Strom.

A friend has one and he's really happy with it, it's a Yamaha after all. I just placed an order for the new Yamaha Tenere, the bike will be here in May 2011. I can't wait, it's a long winter for me. Good luck and enjoy those sweepers ;-)GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.com
