Hi - my name's 'itcher

[Big Dave]

Itchin' to ride it!

Very well mannered motorcycle indeed.
Chucking it round like a sprotsbike.

Looks fast just standin' still! (So does the bike...)

[R6_kid]

looks like you caught the infamous N4CR/Tristank in action at flying school!

How about that! -

And there wasn't a plane for miles - and as soon as I stop the bike - this comes around the corner.

Was a yellow one of these (I think one of these) ontop of the Kaimais yesterday around 1:30ish. Had the KR stickers on it aswell.

You?

That MiG 21 in the background - does it fly?

Nah - got it this arvo.

Don't know. I wouldn't if it did any more than I'd buy a Lada.

Another convert? Looking forward to your write-up.

After 9,500km, mine's just starting to free up. The gear shifter is a lot less clunky now than when I first got it. And as for Falcon GT-Ps from a standing start, Pah! I understand that FJRs top out at about 244kmh (rated) in calm conditions on dead straight Wairarapa roads. Not that I would ever attempt such an exercise...

Cheers - Certainly understand how you would want to do a Grand Challenge on it - it's a real 'set and forget' bike - it's so well mannered and smooth that you have time to have a sqiz around and smell the roses - even though it's pushing a fair clip. It does nothing you don't tell it to.

I gave it the business over monument hill this afternoon. Just dandy! I now need new boots and a hero blob or two. Ground all into tarmac and loved it.

Lovely bike.

The windscreen is interesting - I like it - I don't like it - I like it - I don't like it - I like it - I don't like it - and then I have trouble making up my mind. It's a neat thing that you can make horrid with injudicious use.

I had 2 off XS1100's that I covered most of both islands of Oz on - way back then - including a fetching blue one.

So it sort of feels like home too.

Nice looking machine, you can still see the original FJ-1100 lines from way way back in it. Good old Yamaha lineage.

I loved my old FJ, brilliant sports-tourer (in it's day of course !!).

These have been a good selling popular bike. We are waiting for the Electronic Shift model to be released. Got a bunch of customers waiting to ride it.

They're pretty popular out here in West Oz as well. Always a bunch of them outside the local cafe out in Toodyay of a Saturday or Sunday. The geriatric Aussies love them.

Top selling bike in its "class" in Australia. At least gerontologically-challenged Aussie bikers have faultless taste in riding equipment.
