I bought my FJR as a replacement for a 1984 Honda Nighthawk S. I love my FJR, but it is just so much worse through the turns than the nighthawk was. I don't know if it's just plain weight, suspension, wheel size, whatever, but that little 450 pounder was a BLAST, I should not have sold it.
I am buying a house this spring, so I won't buy soon, but looking for thoughts and recommendations on a small stablemate. The FJR is my wife, but I need a girlfriend.
When i look at price and comfort the SV keeps calling my name, but the power and sound of the triple with pipes could rock.
Oh yeah, something around 5k, gonna just pay cash. And I can't justify anything more on a second motorcycle.

- SV650 - Lots of people have them, but they are pretty low on HP
- Speed Triple - Lots of HP, plus my Dad owns a Triumph and out local dealer is AWESOME
- Monster - Wife is in love with the trellis frame, easy sell for her
- Hypermotard - The hooligan in me kind of wants to ride one these, with a throaty pipe
- Other comfortable sporty bikes?
