Thanks Slice! I'll go and do a hello in a min. isn't there an issue with luggage - I read on the "net" (so it must be true) that Yamaha don't recommend the panniers and the top box coz of a risk of overloading the subframe - and that's before jamming it full of as much crap as I can get in and then strapping the tent over the top.....etc great link to the guy up in Dursley - not far from here as the bike flies. I'll test ride an FJR as they have a Demo bike in Fowlers and see where that takes me! cheers Nick

Morning all I've got a BMW r1150rt and fancy a change to something with a little more oomph and less vibes but with the same level of touring comfort esp for the pillion who will be making all final decisions. I quite fancy the look of the FJR1300 - my bike is worth maybe 3.5K so I'd be looking at 6K max - so an older one what is the comfort like? is the power OK - even in wet/slippery conditions that we get a lot of the time are there any known problems/issues?? thanks a lot Nick
