Not really new, been a member since acquiring the 2020 S10 ES last year. Traded up or down from a FJR. The Strat is an 09.

a simple hello, andrekik...

welcome fella

Welcome!
Nice Stratoliner. I owned a Roadliner for a while. Good bikes but nowhere near as comfortable as the Tenere (in my opinion).

Tks Bill, disagree, the Strat is as comfy as the S10, totally different ride though. Intent was to sell the Strat, but then I take it out for a spin and Nah.... keep it!

Really? My legs always felt cramped after an hour or so in the saddle. I put some 1 1/2" pull back risers to take the strain out of my back but I couldn't figure out a way to take 2" out of the length of my legs. Otherwise I loved it. That big 'ol 1900cc engine is a blast and pulls like a freight train on the highway. Too easy to go fast, but that's half the fun. Glad it fits you. Wish it had fit me better because it was a cool bike.

Welcome, from Joshua. I'd call it more of a lateral move. But if it was me, I would have kept the FJR, and sold the Strat.
