Re: Fancy a Change ?.

Have had 2 FJR's, in fact I still have 1. The FJR is a very good and reliable bike, it handles real well and will take you round the world should you so desire. It is not as comfortable as a BMW and not as high spec, but a very good bike. Purchased my first BMW in 2011, a GTLE 1600 and had a love ha...
