XSR 700

[the Ferret]

My son liked the specs on it when it was first announced as an FZ09 and liked that they made it into a tourer as the FJ09, and sort of liked his test rides before he bought one. I was not as pleased with my test rides as he was, but I wasn't buying one. It was ok, but I thought it was still too twitchy in A mode. He rides his in std mode mostly I think. He uses it for touring and commuting back and forth to work. It has been reliable so far. He has 11,000 miles on it now, and like his father rides about every day, all year round. As a matter of fact some times I have to talk him out of riding because conditions are iffy. The kid likes to ride. Not sure where that came from lol. Maybe it was the Z50 I got him when he was 5. Or the GS1100E I gave him when he was 19. Or the Gen 1 FZ-1 I helped him buy when he was 27 lol.
