RandyD Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Traded an 08 Hypermotard. Miss the feel of that wonderful old school air/oil Ducati 1100 but I do love the smooth power and wind protection on the FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad27 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 2010 Versys. Great bike just not enough power for me. I was waiting for someone to come out with something like the V with a more powerful engine. The FJ is that bike. Hopefully. Have not tried it yet... I think a lot of Versys owners will trade theirs for an FJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massiveuniball Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 2009 Kawasaki er-6n with 21000km. Has been a great bike but it was time to buy something more powerful that had some more comfortable features...did a 4000km trip on it last summer...fun but tiring on a naked bike...

papac2000 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I am noticing a few guys coming from the Versys 650/ER6-n. When I was looking for a bike to step up from my CBR500RA, the Versys was one of the candidates. A few of my riding friends with more experience told me it was going to be a waste as I would quickly adjust to the marginal increase in power and tire of it only to upgrade to what I really wanted. Seeing those comments about wanting someone to make a bike like the Versys with more power resonates with me...and affirms I made the right choice. Gotta love this place! 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 i agree touring on a naked is not much fun my bmw f800r had plenty of power but boy was it uncomfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deersSlayer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 i agree touring on a naked is not much fun my bmw f800r had plenty of power but boy was it uncomfortable I guess it depends on the roads/route. I put 50K km on my naked Street Triple R, 3/4 of that on trips longer than a weekend. Slight forward lean, comfy seat (Sargent), light good handling bike, as many small twisty roads as possible, all = fun to me. 8-) FJ-09, 690 Enduro R. Back Roads. Period.
