Tonik Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Not looking for a long haul bike unless it is a full replacement for the couch. Going to look for that in the fjr. The second ride is to start finding a bike for plan b, which is general hooliganism if plan a fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 1 hour ago, Tonik said: So do I ride the r6 or the fz 7 after the fjr? I am thinking the r6. If there is xsr900 u might like it, lighter, upright, sportier, abs, tcs, slipper assist?, better susp than fz, seems like a good package 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 You guys are supposed to narrow the list down, not make it bigger. BTW, plan C is to get a beater track bike. But then I would have to get a trailer, and then shoot myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stay up all night researching every bike out there don't you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hesitant to put something I don't own through its paces :\ thanks though! Turn comfy couch into a track bike, you could take donuts to a speed they've never seen before.

The only ready why I didn't get one is because they are popular right now and the dealers weren't motivated to move inventory. I ended up with the Suzuki for a few bucks less.

Advertised on cycle trader as out the door price. Don't think you would be happy with the fz07. Did not do much to excite me. A trunk and soft luggage and this would be a nice gap trip scoot. Can't make the trip Friday. Wife has plans for Saturday and I have many chores to get done on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If spec sheet and reviews are to be studied & believed,Don't go for the 750, it's considered a parts bin made up version. The 1000 is worth the extra money and 10x better bike on paper and reviews. +1 on Romney, always comes up top for good pricing on cycle trader Edited July 22, 2016 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
