[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1140865, member: 436"] You will be very happy with your FJR. Keep in mind that an '03 is now almost 12 years old, so don't pay too much and check it over carefully for age related issues like dry rubber and wear from lack of lubrication. Regarding the move from a 250 to a 1300, it depends on how many miles you have ridden that 250. If you had it one season or less, then you are taking a giant step and need to be very careful with the FJR because of the difference in size, power, weight, and weight distribution. The FJR is top heavy and falls over very easily at low speeds in inexperienced hands. Never try to stop while the handlebars are turned. [/QUOTE]
