[QUOTE="sloppy, post: 1442853, member: 93224"] I may be going against the grain but if you do not have a lot of time riding a street bike, getting an FJR1300 as your first true street bike may be a problem and cause you to not enjoy the bike. I love mine but I had an FZ-1 as a sport tourer before I got my FJR. The weight of the FJR combined with the seat height and seat width make it tough unless you have some experience on a street bike. Personally I would spend a riding season on a bike that weighs @ 500 lbs or less and then go to an FJR1300. I think when you get the FJR you will feel more at ease once you have some solid street time under your belt. [/QUOTE]
