Uses are a 65mile round trip 6 day a week commute. Traffick goes 80mph until i get to stop and go Saves me 25minutes using bike in HOV so i ride almost every day rain or shine. Unless its a hurricane or below freezing AND precip im riding

Also go joy riding and with a group who mostly have 600 and 1000 sportbikes.

My experience has been
Shadow sabre 1100- boring, slow, hurt my tailbone, cornered a little slower than my f250
Fjr1300- great. Love the storage, low end grunt is nice in traffic dont have to keep it revved up can just put along, comfy, good wind and weather protection.
Downside is it is a pig in the corners and really have to force it, sportbikes ive ridden felt like they always want to go faster in corners. The fjr you have to push it hard

My gf has a sv650s and i have been "borrowing" it whenever she isnt home. I have so much more fun on the twisty rds than the fjr. But it has no power.

Ive also ridden q cbr600rr for q few weeks and loved it in the corners. But it just seemed like it was ment more for a track. Needed alot of rpm or else it felt gutless and is annoying in stop and go to have to rev it so much.

So i dont knoq what to get. I need to sell the fjr to have a reasonable budget 5-6500$ im not affraid of older but only want fuel injection.

Blackbird??

 

The answer is 2 bikes....
One big comfy one for going to work, and the other for fast pleasure rides.
