Sold the Fireblade and just bought this. Had one before in same colours. A serious distance tool.

Feel free to take the Micky....

Is it newer than your last one, or less mileage...

Nout wrong with a Yamaha

It's a 2009 reg bike but the same model/paint scheme as my original.

Bought it for less than I sold the old one for with a couple of thousand less miles and it's in better condition (apart from a mirror that needs replacing).

Will need to change the suspension at some point but ok for now.

Mighty fine mile cruncher you have again John

I also bought a FJR 1300 cannot wait to put some serious mileage on it

I still have the blade

It has a centre stand as well.

What model/year did you get? Had the suspension linkages checked out yet?

Mine is a 2003 on a 53 plate..... Yes all checked out and in perfect order, the guy who had it before me was really good... I have FULL service history with it. Looking forward to the Wales trip to put some miles on it

Nice bike Jay look forward to catching up in Wales
