    Early FJR1300 vs Kawasaki Concours, wanting to buy one

    Can anyone comment about the alternator concern I mentioned? Do any of you Gen1 owners have issues with power or having lots of accessories plugged in?

    Early FJR1300 vs Kawasaki Concours, wanting to buy one

    When I was doing all my research several months ago, I think I came across some of your posts. All I remember was that there was a guy that owned an FJR and a C14. He would never give a straight answer as to which bike is better. Not sure how long you've had the C14 so it could have been...

    Ha, this keeps getting more complicated by the minute. So how does the C-14 compare to the FJR (which I'm sure there are tons of posts discussing that)? I have done some searching in the past but I recall reading that people generally like the FJR more for reasons I can't remember. If I sell...

    Sorry, I didn't know this existed. I've spent so much time searching and reading that it's starting to drive me crazy. A lot of what I shared were just questions that keep coming to mind. I guess I just want everyone to know what my concerns are so they can help steer me in the right...

    Yeah, I've always heard great things about V-Stroms as well. The DL1000 was another bike I was thinking about. I seem to always read about people liking the 650 more though. I went on a few trips with my FZ6 and felt like the engine/RPMs were running pretty high when the speed limit was 65...

    Wow, thanks for all the replies guys! I really have an appreciation for active forums where you don't have to wait days and weeks for responses. Ok so, I'm just going to throw out some of the things I've read about and heard other FJR owners having problems with. I'm not completely educated...

    Early FJR1300 vs Kawasaki Concours, wanting to buy one

    I ride an 07 Yamaha FZ6 and wanted something bigger for longer trips. I've always wanted an FJR but they're pretty expensive. But at the same time, I've only looked at 2006 and up because of the issues on the early models. I've also come across some really cheap Concours (ZG1000, not 14)...
