Unless it's $300 more comfy, noticably safer (full lab tests and other lab corroberations) and still modular (I love the modular)? I'm ok with the Shoei and Kabuto.

Have a Kabuto Ibuku, my first modular, bought in the USA, love it, picked up a second helmet due to being out here in Japan means I'm constantly on my scooter and I sweat a LOT in 85+ with high humidity in the summer (still hot, cooling down finally) and the need to air out the helmets is...

Should look into a pair of those. A buddy of mine started working for https://www.reconinstruments.com/ and put one of those delightful units onto his motorcycle goggles, says he loves it, when I reached out to the company they said they were "Looking into the potential application for...

A few more added to the link, also with a pic of the rare Africa Twin out here. Looks good in grey/silverish

You're missing out only on the 'shoulda coulda' Yes it is an awesome place, yes it's a LOT of fun, yes it's Japan and living here as an American is AMAZING. BUT!!! Kicking yourself over what if in the past won't help, besides after doing my Navy stints, unless something better comes up I'm...

Sorry, just a short ride for supplies and lunch (at an EXCELLENT little place right outside the naval base) https://goo.gl/photos/QfpzcAzwQ86iLeiJ8 More to follow after my phone stops eating the files when I transfer them to the computer.

Looks like I'll invest in the Yamaha touring screen option then.

I would like to know more about the touring screen. I'm 5'8" with a 30" inseam so I'm curious if the larger windscreen is worth the price of admission.

I solo exclusively but I'm not sure where my next local will be at yet, I'm trying to keep myself west coast if possible (Pac Nor West would be ideal, I loved my time there). However it looks more and more like road condition check, and if that's the case I may pony up the extra funds for the...

My fat rear, plus gear, plus maybe groceries or a few changes of clothing and the open road? Not likely to exceed that 360 pounds on any kind of regular basis (I'm at 170 at 5'8" so not exactly skinny here) but every once in a while take a full load out depending.

So it looks like one for the ES several for the A and one for the A with racing suspension upgrades. And NTXFJR brings up a point I should have realized, I fully intend to keep this thing for 200k+ Miles. Yes it will be a well used machine but like every other vehicle I've owned it will also be...

Well not pure economy, Coming from a lovingly modded '12 WRX STI I am looking for something that gets slightly better then 18 MPG. Besides I love riding, caught the bug off that aforementioned 06 Honda Shadow. Also insurance on the FJR is significantly less then the Prius and the WRX. It is over...

Thanks for the heads up, I'll also start rooting through old threads as well.

FNG here with a few questions for the group. Currently riding a 2016 Majasty S scooter (excellent for the area in Japan) and am looking to get a full touring bike when I get back to the states. Having done lots of research I noticed the big difference between the 2 is the quickly adjustable...
