Anyone done this currently riding a 16 FJR touring mostly two up. So the question is who has gone from FJR to S10 and were you happy with your decision. And yes can only have one bike
Probably about half if not more.Anyone done this currently riding a 16 FJR touring mostly two up. So the question is who has gone from FJR to S10 and were you happy with your decision. And yes can only have one bike
So you are happy having switched ? Yes we too bump helmets on the odd occasion mainly when I switch to sport mode. I like to travel some distance just a bit worried how the ST will handle hammering through Germany and miles of fast motorway riding. The ST would be better for some of the roads in Eastern Europe are in a sad state just really need one bike that ticks most boxes.I am among those swithcing from FJR to ST. For me ST is much more nimble, easier to handle and more comfortable riding position up to the speeds of 140 km/h. Over that, the air resistance, noise and rattle of ST would make it less comfortable than FJR. Otherwise I am more than happy with ST. My wife, though, complains a bit that there was more space on FJR pillon seat than on ST, she keeps hitting me with her helmet on sharper stops. I've been riding on ST for 10 000 km now, so I guess I have got a pretty good feeling about it. It is mostly stock, I had to change the seat to the Touratech one though, the OEM was impossible for me .
I get what you saying here it's more a case of bad road conditions. I cringe riding my Fjr on some roads.I'm on my second Tenere and still have my FJR. I would hate to have to choose between one or the other but the ability to run off road would likely seal the deal for the Tenere.
I did a trip in Europe this summer, from Estonia through Sweden, Denmark to Germany and back through Poland. In Germany and Poland had some occations on the motorway and 140 km/ h was the highest speed I was comfortable with. After that the noise and buzz became uncomfortable for me, although the bike had enough power to go 200.I like to travel some distance just a bit worried how the ST will handle hammering through Germany and miles of fast motorway riding.

Also I would like to slow down a bit as the FJR is too quick and here in the UK a very good way of losing your licence
