[QUOTE="ronhawker, post: 947885, member: 28189"] I already have both. A Gen I FJR and a 900 Trophy from 1995. They both have their points. They are about the same speed but the Trophy feels lighter and more response. Both are upgraded with better suspension. Wilbers on the FJR and Race Tech front and Ohlins on the rear for the Trophy. The Trophy has basically a Speed Triple motor. The Trophy has better brakes as it is sporting 6 pot front brakes from Triumph endurance racing. The FJR is more reliable with the shaft drive and fuel injection. The Trophy has carbs and the resulting issues with the ethanol crap fuel on occasion. I have to say the FJR is smoother and more electric in feel to the point or having very little feel or soul. I have said before, it is like riding a refrigerator. But all in all the Trophy with a Yoshimura exhaust and that triple sound will stir your soul. The triple singing is like no other. My wife likes the Trophy better as she is more comfortable and says she get less wind buffeting. I really like the adjustable windscreen on the FJR and am more relaxed and comfortable on the FJR. The Trophy wants to run all the time. Sigh... You can't have too many bikes or guitars. [/QUOTE]
