My Bro in Oz has a FJR and loves it, never given him an ounce of trouble. My personal choice based on looks (I know it does'nt mean squat) the Yamaha is better looking but in reality I think the Kawasaki will be a formidable machine if the ZX14 is anything to go by. Only time will tell I guess, You can't go wrong with an FJR 1300 though....just as long as thats the kinda bike you really want eh.:yes:

[dogsnbikes]

Oh you do have a problem........guess this new bike bug is catching :innocent: you could tradein the ZX that polluts the neighbours place:dodge:

[imdying]

Weird.. the George Foreman grill styling on that works kinda well, unlike the ZX14. I'd hit it.

[zadok]

My kinda bike. I had the old GTR1000, which was great for an old tech bike. The GTR1400 would be fantastic. My pick of the two.

[KoroJ]

Haven't seen it up close and personal yet, but I hope they do something about that ugly big can on the right side.

Otherwise it looks just about as impressive as the ST.??!!

[Disco Dan]

I want to have its babies.

[Grahameeboy]

I want to have its babies.

Geeze you are not fussy eh......but desperate......

he has already been told that the ashhurst boys ride Kawasakis!! If he goes and buys a Yamahahahahahaha then we will have to run him out of town.

Speaking of which, when is that triple moving to ashhurst? Might have to send out the hunt.

Besides. Big is better... Go ask mitre 10.

Man, I hope Meanie does buy a Yamaha, someones got to bring a little class to that neighborhood!:bleh:

[Baldyheed]

Must admit, that is a nice looking bike. Might just be tempted to take one for a spin.

you forgot to add the 2 honda's and the yamaha in my stable :dodge:

[cowboyz]

oh fuck/ its getting worse!! you moved in yet?

[cowboyz]

on a more serious note. compare the FJR to the concours.

concours - http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/Detail.aspx?id=220&content=specifications

FJR - http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/yamaha_fjr_1300_a_2006.php

most un-noticable is the tourque 99.1 for the FJR and 100.3 for the Kwaka.
and compression is 10.7 Vs 10.8. I think it will some down to style and you know which one will win every time.

[NZsarge]

Go with the force(read Yamaha) Luke(read Meanie)

[dogsnbikes]

oh fuck/ its getting worse!! you moved in yet?

No at sea till wednesday......... start moving in thrusday

[cowboyz]

thanks for the warning.

[dogsnbikes]

thanks for the warning.

Steady now you may one day discover a honda chained to the ZX:dodge:

That was my thought to.... :scratch: not sure if I like or not like... I dunno

[cowboyz]

go to any measures to give the hondas away huh?

[dogsnbikes]

thought you could do with the xtra horsepower and keep up with YOD's 335ks/hr:innocent:

[yod]

exactly....

[yod]

what the hell do you want a raving great tank like those for? one cylinder is almost the same cc as the viffer!! probably cheaper to run your car :laugh:
you planning on bringing the extended family along on the rides?? a trailer would probably work ok on it too....does it come standard with a towbar and sunroof or are they extras?

[Sanx]

Steady now you may one day discover a honda chained to the ZX:dodge:

I prefer an alarm or a big arse chain to keep my Honda secure. Though I suppose attaching a Kawasaki block would also act as a good ground-anchor :bleh:

[speedpro]

That pipe is much like a FZ1 pipe in basic shape and with the fasteners in the ends.

[ZeroIndex]

Damn that looks cool... for a tourer

[Hitcher]

Hitcher is eagerly awaiting a test ride, should any enlightened Kawasaki dealers procure a demonstrator. It will have to be something pretty special to head off the FJR.

One of the salesmen in AFC here in PN was talking about trying to get in a demonstrater because thier oposition has an FJR as a demonstrator which i gladly took a test ride on
I am still considering the FJR but in all fairness it would be rude to not test ride the Concourse 14 :yes:
