Sold the FJR as it only did 200 miles last year. :( So just the Tenere and my 18 year old Yamaha XJR 1300.

Delete the '05 Multistrada from my list. Sold it this weekend. Nice bike, hard to see it go but it went to a good owner.

Inherited my father-in-laws 2005 vulcan 800 classic. Officially moved to Texas last month. Hence why the ST is on the trailer(also a spyder rt limited buried in there, it's my mothers hauled it to Texas to get it running, re-registered and sold)

Welcome to Texas. You're going to miss the mountains, maybe the weather, but not the cost of everything.

'08 KLR650 is my other bike. (damn, that was 50lbs ago!!)

We've also got a Suzuki TU250x (daughter's) and a BMW F650GS single (wife's).

I rode the FJR today after a nine month hiatus. Holy crap! When I went from the ST1300 to the FJR, they were quite similar. From them to the Tenere, it was different, but all new bikes are. But now, completely used to the Tenere....the FJR IS cramped; it DOES have "slow" steering. I now believe the FJR has been flashed; bought it used. The FJR's "S" mode throttle feels like the Tenere's "T" mode throttle. (But, damn, it is SO fast) The adoption paperwork went through on the FJR, so my youngest son is now a proud papa of a rocket ship.

I'm thinkin' the Kawis have sentimental attachments. 'Cuz Kawi hot rods to Yami adventure is a big switch. You won't be disappointed. ::001::

Yes, love the big naked Kawasakis.
But for getting the miles in I like something more comfortable - hence wanting an S10 after a recent test ride. Loved the Tiger 1050, but fancied a change.

Well hell yeah!! Can't get a wedgie if you don't sit down. :)) I love watching trials competitions. They defy the laws of physics. ::008::

You and me both. The things a trials bike can do in the hands of a skilled rider is nothing short of amazing.

Funny to say it this way, but my FJR is now the other bike. And is for sale by the way.....
That's what happened to mine. Sold it to my son for dealer trade-in value. And, if I ask nicely, I still get to ride it. ::012::
