bgagnon Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hi All, I was looking to change my F800GT for a brand new FZ-09 2017. Then I realize that I wanted to add everything the FJ already have. My problem with the FJ is that I am 28 instream so I need the lower seat + the 15 mm lower suspension option. Then it's sits at the same height of the FZ-09. So this could be an option. The other positive points are: larger gas tank, better instrument display, better luggage options a brand-new FJ-09 2016 is the same price of the FJ-09 2017. Only difference is that the 2016 does not have the new slipper assist clutch and new traction control. Probably not a biggie. The FZ and FJ are still in the race. I will be trying both tomorrow afternoon also a Kawasaki Z900 ABS, Suzuki GSX-S750 and 1000F later this week. I have been riding for 4 years. I started with a CB500X that I sold to my GF last year. This bike is amazingly comfortable and fun to ride. My GF loves it. I have been riding 20K km on the F800GT from last year until now. Since I am short I have the low seat option but this is putting me in a cramped position. I am very uncomfortable. This bike is a pleasure to ride and has no fault but the position does not suits me. I will let you know what I chose and I am interested on your thoughts... Thank you, ../Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted June 1, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted June 1, 2017 Good luck, hope you like the bike when you do the test drive. It's a lot of fun to ride. I'm a 30" inseam and it is very comfortable, not sure how much the extra 2" will make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
