A little about me I've been riding for about 30 years and i've owned nothing but sport bikes or now a naked sport bike (I currently ride a Z 1000) and as of late I've been kind of kicking around the idea of a sport tour or an adventure bike after all I'm 43 I need a grown-up bike. I stopped into the local Yamaha dealer a few weeks ago and lo and behold there was a new black FJ sitting on the floor, so I thought to myself I better check this thing out so I give it the once over, jump on to get a feel for it and all I can say is I loved it, I can't get the thing out of my mind, it just felt so right. So I've been working on the wife but she's not buying into it so it might be a year or more before I get it, but it will be my next bike. So until then I hope I can add something to this forum.

a bunch of us feel the same way about this bike - it seems to tick all the boxes and just feels right.
and dont worry, you'll wear her down after awhile. either that or start threatening to buy a new car and when she sees how much that costs just relent and buy the bike

I did that, and wollah, I have the F-Jay. Still want to sell the Vette though and get something else after 4 years.
