FJR's

[CRH]

Hi

i adore my Fazer and have spent a fair amount of money and time looking after her. But...it doesn't quite do what i want. The problem is im 6'4" and my Mrs is 5'10", the fazer is just that tiny bit too small. Ive had the bike 6 years and tried different bars + built up seat but i can never seem to find the right siting position?? (up right, leant down e.t.c)

I'm a fan of Yamaha as i think they're well built, reliable and value for money (as i don't have a lot of a cash!).

SO....what do people think of FJR's (new and old)? in a bike i always look for simplicity and running costs, again it goes back to the fact that i'm not flush with cash. i need to be able to maintain the bike my self without breaking the bank.

I know i could go on the FJR site but i will get a bit of a biased opinion.

Thanks

....i ran one for 5years great bike!!...very heavy though?...good on fuel average of 45/50 ridden with care!...gearbox typical yam ..clonky...easy to service,that is when you have removed the fairing to get to the vitals?...you do find though tyres dont last long?...front seems to go first?...brakes awesome!!...very,very, comfortable!!..perfect bike for touring...not so good for commute!.....only problem you do seem to have is that the rear suspension needs regular servicing!!...ie, full strip down and regular grease up!!....massive torque from motor,...cruise at a ton+ all day without any effort ....pm me if you want to know anything else?
