oldfrt Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Planning to trade my Guzzi Stelvio for the FJ. Wanting less weight and lower CG for lighter handling. It looks like the FJ is the bike I've been waiting for for 30 years but that's what I thought a dozen bikes ago. Plus, I'm happy with the way it is bone stock. If I wanted more of anything else I'd get a bike that had that. Trading the shaft for a chain is OK with me. Chains are easy to maintain and are a lot less weight. Like that the FJ has a cernterstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride an FZ-09 and love the lightweight an it is so easy to toss into the corners.

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted March 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 13, 2015 Another FJR1300 sold for the F-Jay. Loved the FJR, but hated the weight going slow. I love the new F-Jay every time I ride it. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

I tried selling my 2011 Super Ténéré privately but there were no takers in the 3 weeks between placing an order and taking delivery on 3rd March, so I stripped it of farkles and traded in to my Yamaha dealer.

rx2ride Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 My wife ran over my 2013 FZ1, does that count? Insurance paid it off and I came home with a FJ09! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
