My dad recently looked at a bandit 1250 but the dealer said look for just under 8k we have this gxs f1250 gt fully faired with panniers and top box, decent exhaust and remap plus scotoiler etc etc, no contest!!!
As for who buys FJRs at such a joking high price havs anyone seen the coverage of the Tour de France?? There are loads of them! The french police use them for tooling around the autoroutes and in the UK most of the paramedic bikers use FJRs. Maybe once these agencies have assessed the new 6 cylinder BMW they may alter their opinons or their dealer???
Just back from a week's run around the Alps & after assorted BMW's (mostly GS ones) I'd say the FJR1300 was easily the most numerous bike I saw out there.
