[QUOTE="ZOOOMM AGAIN, post: 1184356, member: 68835"] As Iris indicated, I stopped riding in my early 20's (raised a family). In 2005, a year after Iris and I were married, we bought new 2005s, I was 53. Just bought our second pair of FJRs (2014s). We've traveled all over this country and a little in Canada. I'm 5'-9" and can get both feet on the ground at the same time. If your brother is short (hope not) he will have an instant disadvantage for keeping the FJR upright in slow maneuvering, say parking lots etc.. Most importantly, ride with the right gear and your brother needs to ride his own ride. It's like riding a bicycle, you don't forget how, He'll just need to take his time and get a feel for the FJR.......it's a lot of machine. Oh, and if he gets a Gen 3, I suggest your brother use the touring mode initially......seriously! Good luck and enjoy thousands of miles of smiles.
