Not quite beginner but... FJ-09 as a bike for a returnee?


Recommended Posts

bought mine as a first bike as a 50 y.o. rider with minimal experience.  reasons: ABS, TC, weighs same or not much more than the "starter" bikes. I ran B mode for about a week, then switched to std mode and haven't touched it since.  got it 9/1 and have over 1300 miles on it and have averaged just over 50 mpg.

I went since 2002 without riding. Then a couple years ag hot a 1979 Triumph 750. Then went all out n got an FJ-09 in May and tI love it. It is piwerful, etc but handles well. The only thing I hate is the seat. I go to hurting after an hour or two.
"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing.
Rush in and die, dogs — I was a man before I was a king!" -- from t poem "The Road of Kings" by Robt. E. Howard
