sshg Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 30 yrs off road experience, 3 yrs on a FZ6 and now looking for something for longer trips and considering the FJR and Pan. I have £8k to spend and would welcome any comments or suggestions and what to look out for on a 2nd hand FJR. What could I expect for my money? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked over the last few weeks and the variation in price for similar age and mileage is considerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 ST1100 Pan - Get an Ex-Police model. It will likely have surface/cosmetic scarring through use, but should be in MINT condition service-wise. Those guys really look after their kit!! So much so, that I'm slowly saving up for one myself!! You can get a very good Ex-Police one for £2500 - Expect 70,000 on the clock (whgich is barely broken in for these things), minor scratches, fully restored 2-person seating (or you can request the Police set-up be left) and probably a decent warranty from the dealer - which leaves you much more for accessories, kit, clothing, gadgets and all sorts of cool things!! Even £1500 will get you a good condition model. Just don't be upset if there's a few more scratches or the occasional bolt cover missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
