Still nice though. They have another one for 4k I think with 80k on it.

If your short these bikes are no problem, go and sit on one you will be supprised. I have a mate of mine who is short and handles one ok. My wife "DukeGirl" short arse Biker on here, she is also short, but has her boots built up, she rides and handles the FJR well.
They are an awesome bike mate for long distance touring, fuel range and comfort you can't beat, i would never go past getting another.
I saw a Black one in Red Barron the other Day when i was up there, go and try.

I have a 2004 AS .
Try to have a ride or sit on both bikes to decide, i think the seat height on the connie is a bit taller, i have riden a Connie when i was looking for a good tourer, but the Yammy suited me better :yes: at the time, but it was a while ago.

No not an easy decission Banditrider, both bikes are good, he has to take both out for a spin then decide....;)

I like to get a new bike every 2-3 years....:blink:
Truth is, Anne got a real nice bike that she just loves (650 Bandit) and I couldn't see the need for the Honda any longer, plus I really wanted the FZ8 once I saw it....job done.
