Lol, well on the scale, I'd have to put it at :thumbup: For me, the riding position is more comfortable, and I like having the torque and midrange the parallel twin gives you. While the FZ was fun to wind up to 12 or 14k, I didn't find myself doing it all that often. On the Versys, I'm...

SOLD! 10char

Well, I've had a test ride on a Versys, and decided that it fits my riding style better than the FZ, so the Yamaha is up for sale. The bike has around 12k miles. Mileage will most likely change as I am still riding it. The bike is stock, with new tires put on at the end of last year. They are...

Still have these, back to the top.

Still got this, bump for great jacket

Still have them. These are the standard length pants so the inseam is 33 inches.

I've had these pants a few years and haven't been wearing them much lately as I bought a pair of Firstgear pants. They are in great condition, never been down in them, no rips, stains, boogers, etc. Here's a pair at Indy Superbikes: Icon Arc Mesh Pants - Indysuperbikes Looking for $70...

This jacket has been worn a few times, but is in basically new condition. I even washed it the other day, so all the dead bugs are off it and it smells good now! This does come with the insulated liner, and vents well so it's a pretty versatile jacket. Here's the description from motorcycle...

I agree on Yamaha needing to bring the 900 Tenere here! Compared to the SS bikes, the FZ does have great leg room. It's on longer trips that I start to feel like I could use a little more legroom. I'm good for about an hour, but then I'm ready to get off and stretch my legs. I also think that...

The wife has not authorized GS money, so the BMW and the Tiger are out. However, with money out of the picture, the Tiger 800 is probably what I'd end up with. I'm looking at budget bikes due to being on a budget! BUT, I think both of these bikes could give me what I want for a reasonable...

Thank you for the well thought out response, and for typing it out twice! Glad to hear that the Versys has no less fun factor than the FZ and possibly more! I do plan on taking a look at both bikes, as they both seem like they will both fit my needs. I do lean towards the Versys, as most people...

I'd look at Continental Conti Motion tires as well. I put a set on my FZ at the end of last season and I really like them so far. They're cheap and handle well, but I don't have enough time on them to judge how long they'll last. So far they seem durable though, as a sport touring tire they...

2010 was supposed to have different engine mounts to reduce vibration too. The V-Strom is on my list to consider as well, so I'm glad to have someone with experience on both bikes chime in!
