Old beast for sale. Too big for me, and will hardly see any use save for a trip around the block every now and then to keep it ticking over.
No smoke or rattles.
Windscreen and LH mirror missing; recent clutch cylinders.
Everything works.
Reg on hold!
$2600 neg, or interested in a lams jobbie to get the mrs into the game.
P plate negotiable.

I dare you to (try to) go from a standing start to 7000 rpm all the way through the gears ... with 7000 rpm max in top gear ...

All relative to what one is used to.

Picked up an FJR1300 a few months ago, nice smooth bike, somewhat less responsive than my Busa though :innocent:

In fairness, a nice 650 V-Strom is gaining in appeal :scooter:

Good luck with the sale, the FJ series have their appeal :love:

That, my good man, would be a no. :laugh:

It red-lines at 9000 ... what could possibly go wrong ... :lol:

I tried it on mine on a very long straight bit of road (a closed and private road of course) and I still ran out of road. I only made it to 5000 in top ... :blank:

I’ve had it in 4th in legal mode and it didn’t like that very much.
