Thanks for posting this. I'd like to try out their 3 cylinder bikes and maybe the FZ-07. I'd thought about take a ride up to the mountains that Friday but I may just go check this out instead.

Stryker is a girls bike. The raider is where it's at! 1900cc's!

FZ-09 and FJ-09 are fun to ride... both REALLY need a better shock, but Ohlins can hook you up ;)

So can Cogent Dynamics. I just rode over and dropped off the forks for my SV650. New springs... Fresh oil and proper setup they should be great! [THUMBS UP SIGN]

I made it out to the demo rides today. I rode an FJR1300, FJ09, FZ09 and FZ07. This was the fist time I had ridden a Yamaha street bike. It was a lot of fun but apparently I'm hot a Yamaha guy. None of them felt right to me. Even though I'm a big, heavy guy, the FZ07 was the one that I would probably be most apt to buy, assuming those 4 were my only choices. <grin>

Ride Now and Yamaha, thanks for a good afternoon. <thumb>

Did you add in compression and rebound adjustability?

I just had Rick do the forks on my 99 SV650 too! Added the new for caps for pre-load... They are night and day from what they were! Needed it badly! <squid>

You will have to ride my X. Rick did separate rebound in right fork and compression in the left. I just installed new Bridgestone S21s and its like the tires just glide over the pavement, chip seal, gravel, whatever. A veritable magic carpet.

Flip did you ride the Super Tenere? If not you missed out! [THUMBS UP SIGN][SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Steve no there is no external compression or rebound adjustments.


Let's Ride!
