clivecoo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi All, I have been lurking on the site for a while so thought time to sign up. Currently riding a 650 Kawasaki Versys Mk1 which I bought new 5 years ago. Goes really well for a 650 and have had great fun on it, done quite a few mods but have never been happy with annoying vibrations and uncomfortable seat although may be my ass as have tried reshaping the original and then a seat concepts cover and foam . Test rode the triumph 800 triples a couple of years ago and liked the 3 pot engine. Thinking of having a change and the Fj09 (tracer over here) seems to have come along at the right time. Local Yam dealer is going to let me know when they get their first one which will be a demonstrator. They said should be sometime in February. Just wondering if any fj09 owners have moved over from a 650 versys and could give me your opinions of the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedavis Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Sean from Revzilla in his Youtube road test review specifically mentions that the FJ-09 ergos are similar to the Versys 650 but the FJ-09 has 100% more horsepower and 50% more torque.

Guest indyrerider Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have been looking at the Nolan N104 Evo Storm. The matte black with red pin striping version looks like it would match up with the Red FJ very nicely. Anyone own an N104 and have comments? http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nolan-n104-evo-storm-helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clivecoo Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looks great. Bet it will be like taking a newborn child home from the hospital ! All smiles and careful riding. Still waiting for email from local yam dealer to say their demonstrator is in. Don't know what the release date is in England ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
