I finally sold my harley and now am looking for a new bike.
I'm torn between two bikes at the moment. 2015 FJ09 for $6k and a gen 2 2009 FZ1 for $4k, both come with hard bags.
I have ridden both and find the FJ09 more comfortable, a hell of a lot of fun to ride, but the suspension is very soft. I'm 6ft and 275lbs and although I could change the suspension I wouldn't have the money to do that for at least a year or two.
The FZ1 is not quite as comfortable but seems to handle my weight better. It's also a fun ride but different to FJ09's triple. It reminds me of a faster FZ6 which I used to own.
I've tried reading about both bikes but they don't seem to be compared together often, which I understand.
Anyone here gone from a FZ1 to a FJ09?

Thanks for the response. I am not a big tech guy when it comes to bikes. The biggest thing swaying me to the FZ1 is the adjustable suspension and lower price.
