    ^^^ My Father out law is looking for one of these (the RT), not cheap new and people seem to hold onto them. Hard to come by used, and new they seem a little over his price-point. Nice amount of grunt in those v-twin 1000's, hopefully not as hard on belts as the Outlander with the same mill.

    My choice have been scaled back to 2...

    Either the SV650 either N or S with Risr clip-one or handlebar conversion
    Or an d FZ6 ( already used to the small friction zone and clunky gearbox some complain about) :)

    I've put 10,000 miles on my '06 FJR in 17 months, can't believe anyone would want more power or speed, faithfully reliable, awesome looks, lots of storage, completely neutral handling in high speed turns, I could go on - Am buying a bigger windscreen.

    Wow... 8 pages of replies with no mention of the direct descendent FZ1. Since I own one now, I'll put in the plug for it.
