Title: Yamaha Sport-heritage
Post by: Brick on March 03, 2016, 10:42:54 am: Well this is a motorcycle classification that I hve never heard of before. I just went to see how much they were asking for the XSR900 and find it in a new category too. Starting at $9,400 is a great price. I still want a FJ09 however...

I think more apropos would be "running out of money BEFORE you get to the nursing home"

The FJ09 IS listed right along with the FJR as a Sport Touring bike. And if you have not ridden one... you should.

Post by: STLTHMSTA on March 06, 2016, 08:23:48 am: Yes, I understand that. But I was implying it should be more like a pint sized FJR, not an ADV wannabe. Not for me. However, I won't be buying anything any time soon so it doesn't matter, but a fella can dream. :) TM
