mk9spit Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 After finding my 2006 MT-01 was getting a bit cumbersome for a 70 yr. old to move around the garage, I updated to a 2016 FJ-09 that had been too heavy for the young lady who bought it new, but only put 4900 KM on it. I removed the windscreen, as I am used to naked bikes, and got rid of the buffeting. By cutting over 5 inches from top I am now more satisfied. Also removed grab handles. FJ is a bit taller than MT and I was getting a foot caught on occasion. Also got rid of the silly hand protectors and moved all controls in about 3/4 inches. Will likely need to get bars with more pull-back. Still cannot get used to using twice the revs compared to MT and hearing that deep v-twin rumble, but CP3 is a very nice engine that I am sure will grow on me. Cheers!

baytower Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Welcome to the forum, at a year short of you, I too appreciate that the bike can be pushed around without having to nap afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
