Premium Member superfist Posted November 28, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hello FJ-09 community! I just purchased a brand new (leftover model) 2015 FJ-09 the day before yesterday (black Friday). I almost pulled the trigger on the Tiger 800 Xrx, but couldn't pass up the price of the FJ-09 on sale. I've previously owned a 2015 Triumph Street Triple, a 2007 KLR650 and a 1972 Yamaha U7E. Go ahead, look that last one up and laugh! It was my first motorized ride. So yeah, I'm just another middle aged guy in the Atlanta, GA area and I'm excited about putting some miles on a new motorcycle. Cheers!

Premium Member alejandro Posted November 28, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted November 28, 2016 The Tiger has its points, but the FJ-09 will be way more fun. Welcome to the tribe Robert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member superfist Posted November 29, 2016 Author Premium Member Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks for the welcome guys. Yes, the Tiger 800 was definitely a little smoother and more refined with a little more comfort. But, the FJ sounds SO much better and has noticeably more power. Besides, a little rough around the edges is more fun than perfect refinement. Duhs10 - I'm on the Northeast side. I'm hoping to ride some of the north GA roadways in the spring. Though, I'll probably have the 600 mile service done by January. Gotta love the extended southern riding season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
