Hey all, Shawn here, new to the forum from Seattle, WA. I recently sold my 2013 FJR 1300 and 2016 FZ07. I just bought a 2017 FJ09. As I was signing the paperwork, the dealer wheeled out a 2018 XSR700. Much to my chagrin of course. I wasn't aware Yamaha was going to release the XSR700 stateside so soon!
My FZ07 was the best all around motorcycle I've ever had. I haven't taken delivery of the FJ09 yet and am already considering trading it in to get the XSR700. I personally love the look of the bike. I lean towards retro/vintage aesthetic. I am moving back into the city from a rural area and think the XSR would fit better. The FJ09 may be too much power for urban day to day riding. And, that FZ/MT07 motor is nothing but sublime. I'll ride my FJ a bit but I have a strong feeling I'll end up with the XSR.
Other bikes I've owned: 2008 Suzuki DRZ 400 SM, 2016 Harley Davidson Roadster 1200 and various Peugot Scooters.
Cheers all!
