    Here’s a few pics of the Yam FJR1300 I took out last week. Took a sneaky one with a large lump of metal in the background just to show where I was for a few weeks!!

    The bike belongs to a friend Marc who was good enough to lend me it for a rather long test ride of about 60 km/40 miles. The suspension is quite firm (although he tells me it can be softened quite a lot) and the brakes are incredibly good, we needed them for the Paris roads! This is his brother’s Suzuki Bandit 1200

    That tower in the background could do with a lick of paint….and is that woman in the first picture picking her nose? Was she hungry?
    Like the reg plate on the FJR…. [:o)][:o)]

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!

    Nice bikes, I do like the lines on the Yam, but what is that lump of tat junk in the background?? Typical johnny-foreigner, never clear up their mess!

    Oh.. and very attractive Bandit! (How could I not say that??)

    To “ERR” is natural.. to really fowl things up needs a politician!!

    I know its disgusting isnt it GSF? You would think they would at least try to tidy it up with a bit of paint eh?

    This isnt something that a tin of Dulux can improve… get Fred Dibna in to demolish it!

    Oh I would have to disagree (for a change), think it would look the business with a bit of bright purple paint……

    I have always liked Blackpool…

    FJR looks cool, nice top box!

    Seriously these are reputely very quick and handle well for a so called tourer. A place for one in your garage ID?

    Do you get a go on the Bandit?

    I can swear fluently at car drivers in 2 languages now.

    (And no it wasn’t Blackpool and no I shall not be buying one and no it was not left hand drive and no the woman was not picking her nose and no it doesn’t look like a Honda and no the paint will remain as it is on the tower). Phew!
