Thanks for the positive vibes Brad, they are a great all round bike and I like a bike that offers flexibility rather than a narrow focus. I assume you have one so stay safe and Subscribe 👌

@@CompleteRider yes I do own one. It's a 2001 Gen 1 and I love it. I recently purchased it from the original owner with only 7000k on the clock. Looks as good as the day it was taken out of the crate.

Hey Henrik good to hear yo are happy with it, I know a heap of riders that just love these things. I want one but the Ninja 1000SX is probably at the top of my list! Check out that video. Stay safe.
@HenrikGahmberg3 жыл бұрын
@@CompleteRider Yeah Ninja 1000 SX is high up on my list too. If I ever change it probably would be that one. But the shaft drive is very convenient on the FJR... If the 1000 SX would come with a shaft drive, it would be great.

@@HenrikGahmberg Yes Henrik, Shaft or belts are great! It's one of the good things about being a 'mature rider' we can get bikes without chains!

Have wondered the exact same thing from Kawi- The 1000SX could grab a pretty hefty piece of the market with Shaft drive I think.. not sure if the GTR1400 shaft would fit the bill bc of specs/wheel base maybe... but its a great shaft drive system and id sure be more inclined toward the SX if it were shaft drive

I have a 2001 UK....the fastest model I think they were released in UK in 2003 and they are fast mine was dropped a few time so I cut it in half lowered the seat so you are sitting low behind the tank, took out the air box to make room for the seat and went all out rat and with all the weight removed the thing is a rocket

Nope, I did have a mate who had an auto one brand new. Dam thing kept cutting out mid corner. Had no clutch to pull in and just kept leaning over. It scared the he'll out of him. Yamaha Oz couldn't fix it, so he sold it as soon as possible. 😯
