FJR vs Gen 1 thou
#3

Having trashed both bikes I'd go for the Fazer everytime if I wanted to hussle. Yes you're right that the FJR is heavier to chuck around but if you've got a bad back do you want to be chucking it around? You can chuck it around but in less than a week of very fast lane scratching I managed to kill a set of tyres.

The FJR also has loads of heat coming from the motor that tends to heat you up and melt your legs when slow riding or stationary. Think this is due to the fairing design more than anything.

Touring wise it's very capable. Seating position was good for me but don't know how it would be for a rider with different build. I'm 5'7".

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad
