New Member Introductions » Afternoon from East Anglia

Hello,

In the process of doing a deal for an '18 model RS that came in as a part-ex where I work. I own a few bikes and the idea was to replace an '05 FJR and '07 F800S with this one. As yet however, I can't bring myself to part with the F800 that I've had from new and is worth more to me than they seem to sell for.

I do a lot of two-up riding and my passenger really likes the FJR but I've never really gelled with it in the four years I've owned it. She's had a sit on the new bike, but not a ride out on it yet. Fingers crossed.

Good luck!

Having both of them, I can say my passenger enjoys the RS more than the FJR (surprising).

Hi Nicko,

Welcome.

I also had an F800 and it was one of the reasons I bought my RS, however the RS has become my default goto for everything bike to the tune that I have sold 3 of my bikes including the F800 as I just didn't use them.

Where abouts are you in East Anglia?

There are a few of us around this area.

I'm way over to the East close to the Essex/Suffolk border. Looks like I'll be bringing the bike home later this week.

Hi, I'm in Mid Essex near Maldon. I've got both the RS and an F800R as a bit of a runabout. I'd always had big Japanese bikes before the RS and looked at the FJR and still sometimes wonder...
I did a trip last week from Essex to Northern Ireland via Cairnryan in Scotland, its a long run in a day but the bike was fantastic and I was in a reasonable state as well at the end. I use the F800R as a Blood Bike except when It's wet and cold, then I use the car!
A good choice of dealers in our area, not sure yet which is better.
