Hey. I was wondering if anyone knows if the Shad top case brackets for the Gen II FZ1 will fit on the 2012 FZ8? As far as I know the subframes on the FZ1 and FZ8 are the same, but I was just wondering if anyone could confirm the parts were interchangeable between the two bikes. Thanks to...

I owned an FJR1300 (2005) and can't say enough good things about it. Throw some Heli bars on it and a comfort seat set for you and your passenger and I think you'll have a great time. I also added a top case as suggested above and couldn't agree more. Makes all the difference in the world...

I think it's over Johnny. I saw you wrote it could go either way but it seems pretty shitted up to me. What a shame. Glad we rode it when we did.

That would be quite a trip for a test ride, but I appreciate the offer! Bummer the Tuono V4 passenger accommodations are so bad. Starting to consider the possibility of the BMW S1000R. Just can't go there until I sit on one and the wife tells me how the passenger seat is! I'll have to heed...

Closing on the house should be April 18. The next day if all goes as planned she's yours. But you'll have to ride with me on the 19th... my bday.

Good input guys. The Strom is just not my cup of tea. I'd just buy a Concours or FJR before going that route since both would just be to ride 2 up. Pete, I'm just not a Guzzi guy. Takes a certain breed to go for one of those!

All these responses and no-one has really touched on the Street Triple R??? Is that just a bike many people aren't familiar with? I've ridden them and they are a blast! Still looking for input.

You are so funny my brother! I think there are 3 threads where you say you won't change anything, then one person suggests a reflash and you're changing the exhaust and the ecu!! It's just impossible to resist for all of us, isn't it? :thewave:

I still think it's the right time to let her go...and you know why I think that!

So... is a track day in your future?

You guys are all nuts! Pete, thanks for the info. I had my wife and daughter sit on the FZ09 and they said it was a terrible bike for a passenger. If the Tuono V4R has terrible passenger accommodations, it may get stripped from the list. I know Billy and Johnny will be bummed to hear that...

yeah, but I want Billy to have the bike.

I didn't want to say it was Billy! That was for him to do!

Sounds like a lot. Is there anyone from the forum close to you that could show you how simple it is to remove the wheels? Teach a man to fish if you know what I mean... I recommend taking the wheels off yourself. Usually then about $30 - $35 per wheel at reasonable shop to mount and...

Okay, I can't believe it but I might sell the FZ1. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but the bike will be going to the right buyer and I will still get to ride it when I see him. Just need a little extra cash for the appliances in the home purchase my wife and I are making this Spring...

Wifey Pic Here's the wifey with her Ducati at a track day at NJMP.

Thanks for the review! Congrats on a sweet new ride. By the way, I wish my Gen II would get 39 mpg! :)

CUT AND PASTED FROM THE DAILY STAR - JANUARY 25, 2014 This is horrible news to anyone who has ridden that track! Looks like a legal mess now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 25, 2014 Judge orders speedway to follow rules...

Want to have some fun? Try lining up with 20 other MX bikes on the line and bar-banging into turn 1 during a motocross race! That was some Oh SH*T stuff for sure... knowing all the carnage and contact that was coming as soon as the gate dropped! Happy to hear you had such a great time at...

Happy birthday brother from Michelle, Lexi and I! Lexi says you can come have her room again anytime as long as you two manage to "acquire" some balloons together again from the sign out front! Hope you had a great day and we'll see you soon!
