:unsure: Hi, Cracking looking bike, I have a 06 fazer600, which I love. I am looking for a touring bike as I intend to head down to France when weather gets better. How would you rate an XJR as a touring bike. I have had a look at a Honda deauville but being a 60 year old have decied I am not ready to be bored to death just yet, also thinking about the FZ1, any opinions sought.

I've got an XJR (and a Z!), and I find it's hard work on the rear after 100 miles or so, worse I feel if I'm in traffic. That said, it's a might bike, and if you choose to, it can be the easiest ride ever, the gears aren't really needed as it pulls like a train in any gear, from any speed!!

I've ridden the FZ1 too, and I think you might be better looking at that for touring, you et a bit more protection from the fairing.

Then again, you can pick up an XJR (08, 6 months old or so) for £5k ish, so you get alot more bike for your money.

If you try one - you will love it! I defy anyone not to after riding one

Ver, very nice !! ¿ What about replacing the rear shock absorbers with a mono-shock ?

I think is the touch that is missing.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
