[QUOTE="sloppy, post: 1442588, member: 93224"] Too many riders have moved from a large cc sports tourer to the adventure bike market. Whether you like it or not the replacement to the FJR1300 is the Tracer 9GT. The bike gets great reviews, and the market for sport tourers is going towards lighter weight better handling bikes over bikes like the FJR and Connie. I got rid of FZ-1 which was customized for sport touring (Givi bags, touring windshield, hand warmers, throttle lock, etc) for an FJR which has been my dream bike forever. I love the bike but bought it from a guy that purchased a BMW R 1250 GS. The bike he sold me was his second FJR. I asked him if he had taken his Beemer off road. He said only once in 6 months. I whittled him down some on the price by mentioning to him that the market for new FJRs and the like are going to adventure bikes and lighter sport tourers. Sorry fellows but we may be going the way of the dinosaur with big bore STs. [/QUOTE]
