Looking for a 3rd bike????
Has anyone had a Yamaha FJR1300 before the F6B?
I am looking for a 3rd bike down the road and I am doing research (fantasizing) now. I originally was going to buy the FJR1300 when I bought the F6B. I am looking for something down the road in a few years when I have more money (Ha Ha yea right).
I would like the following features: (Any suggestions I would appreciate!!!)
More sport bike like performance power and handling than the F6B
Comfort
luggage
stereo
I know we all have that with the F6B (that is why I bought it) best mix of the above features!!!!
I would like something more sporty if possible or just something different occasionally. You know I love my beautiful blond wife but a good brunette is fun to take out for a ride now and then. (With this comment and wanting a 3rd bike I will need a new place to live so this is going to get real expensive) Which is why in reality this is most likely a fantasy. (but it is still fun to do and inspires good conversation)
Some bikes I have been considering:
Sport Tourers
FJR1300
Concourse
Trophy
BMW 1200RT (are these high maintenance?)
BMW 1600 (too expensive)
Naked
CB900 (I used to have one of these)
CB1000R
FZ1
XJR1300 (looks pretty cool for retro)
Harley (giving up performance for nastalgia) By the time I do this I will be in my 60's so this may be the better route to take.
2010 Fatboy (My previous bike)
I still have my 1981 CB750K which is fun and more flick-able as they say. It is getting a little dated and I don't trust it when I push it real hard. It is still a lot of fun and runs great but the other day I was ripping through the gears burning a new fancy Harley and it went into a death wobble at 90MPH. (It really freaked me out) I guess I need to rebuild the forks and check the tires etc... I have nice Avon's on it (sporty)
