    Hi guys I would really like to thank you all for your great input and information that you have given me πŸ‘πŸ€œ It has really helped me a lot in making my decision, which was "I don't think that the FJR would be the right bike for me " ( I actually used my head and not my hart for a change πŸ˜…) after...

    Yes I definitely do 😁 I'm off window shopping in an hour or so, so I'll see if I can get a test ride booked in. It's going to be a bit different from my Kawasaki 1500 mean streak 😬🀣

    Thank you 😁 πŸ‘ That was my only problem on the GS, the slow almost stopped turning. I did drop it a few times as the weight high up and legs so close together on the floor, once it went over just a little of centre there was no stopping it 😬🀣 Iv had wobbles on other ( lower and heavier ) bikes...

    Thank you very much πŸ˜πŸ‘Œ I'm off to SB Factory this afternoon πŸ˜€ I will definitely be looking for a Gen 3 Iv also got my eye an a Tracer 9, but my wife isn't to sure, as she thinks it still a bit like the R1200 GS which she didn't like as to tall for her. Thank you πŸ˜πŸ‘

    Hi Ross Thank you for your reply 😁 It was the Hight of the GS that I struggled with. I have sat on a FJR at superbike factory and found I sat quite comfortable with Bent legs and the weight is lower down on the fjr1300 as opposed to do high up on the GS. Would I be right thinking that ??
