[QUOTE="n1acguy, post: 627972, member: 15551"] I haven't had both bikes, but also wanted an RT1200. The RTs were more than a brand new FJR on the used market, and there didn't seem to be that many to choose from. I got the FJR from OTD Motorsports in Marina Del Rey for 14 even. Sounds like you can get the same price today. From what I can see, it is much easier to farkle a Jap bike compared to a Beemer. This turned out to be a real advantage for me as I decided to lower mine. I don't know if I would have found it necessary to lower the Beemer with it's lower center of gravity, but it would have been [B]way[/B] more complicated if I did. The FJR has a romp stompin motor and is almost as fast as my Bandit 12 was without me doing a thing to it. The first bike I've ever had that didn't need modification to get it to run right. [/QUOTE]
