Nice Bike!

Recommended Posts

Hello from Northern California.

Oh it feels so nice to be back on a nimble road bike again. 

Just picked up one of these after my commuter an exCHP R1150RTP died and before that a string of adventure bikes. I got myself a grey '15 FJ09 with most of the mods already done (ohlins, givi bags, seat, windshield, crash protection etc.), so not much to do which is nice for once. I used to have a FZ1 for a while, but this thing is way nicer. Love the torque, nimbleness, sound, seating position and character of this motor over the inline 4. 

The bike is almost perfect, although the front brake lever feel is a bit vague, not sure if thats my bike or these in general? Tried playing with the lever psotion but nothing changed. Perhaps braided lines or new pads could be the next mod? Any suggestions would be great.

Anyway look forward to learning lots and getting out there on the new bike.

~Also hi Leon! (kotth442) - this thing is a blast on the ridge.
