Posted November 28, 20168 yr 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! Robert Superfist
November 28, 20168 yr The Tiger has its points, but the FJ-09 will be way more fun. Welcome to the tribe Robert!
November 28, 20168 yr Welcome aboard, no hating on your previous bikes, you have clearly learned your lesson and made a wise decision with the FJ-09!
November 28, 20168 yr Welcome... I live on the southside of Atlanta. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA
November 29, 20168 yr Author 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.
