Well that's what is technically known as 'Not fuc*ing about'. Wish all the people who had bought bikes from me had been like you Bob.

I just hope it's a good 'un, as i feel partly responsible...

Cheers Dave and yes you are responsible but I won't hold it against you

You don't hang about mate! Good choice its one of the few bikes that would tempt me from the S10.

Can't afford to hang about at my age

There was something about that advert, and the pics, that looked right to me. Sometimes you get a good feeling that a bike is worth going for. It's a lot of bike for the money.

There's active FJR forums so you'll get all the advice you need on there, but I do remember that they need regular throttle body synchronisation and benefit a lot from a Power Commander III plus a little dyno time - everything gets smoothed out and the bike is much nicer to ride. A mate of mine had one and we swapped occasionally. Nice torquey engine and really comfortable. Chassis is sensitive to squared off tyres, and when they are replaced the bike feels like new again. Can't think of anything else.

Happy touring...
