A little late to the thread, but here's my Moto Guzzi V85TT, acquired last fall. It's a fabulous ride that just keeps getting better. It does everything I ask in comfort and style!

I sold my Tiger last week. Sorry to see it go; we had some crazy adventures. Here's a gratuitous shot on the TOTD.

Gorgeous. I want to own one.

Got the new to me klr out for a short run. Much better now that I've replaced the stock bars with a pro taper cr-hi bend and 1.5" risers. I also removed the lowering links, raised the forks back up in the triples and went over the whole bike for a wash, lube, inspection and adjustments.

Standing beside it, it does seem long. That goes away when I climb on it tho.

Well that is a very capable and comfortable machine with lots of nice tech, so 40k will go by easy.
Congrats on the new bike smell.

Do yourself a favour and get the Yamaha Comfort seat. Not cheap but worth it if you plan on more than two hours on the bike.

I rode it home (hamilton) from london (once I got to brantford, I took the long way. Took a bit over 2hrs) No issue with the seat, but I'll look into it.....tnx for the heads up.
I've never owned a bike with a stock seat I didn't like.
I just threw a bunch of dough at it. (damn internet).
Pazzo shortys and a "life saving" exhaust.

Not needed. At all.
When I had mine and was touring, I would regularly do a week solid and ride between 900-1,200km per day. Absolutely no issues.

Have you ever opened up the side vents?
If yes. Does it make much difference?
(wondering about stability at speed)

Can't say "not needed at all". Your body isn't my body. I know three FJR owners. All HAD to replace the stock seat.
That would be like me saying bar risers are not needed at all. Many FJR owners need too. I didn't

Tried it. Didn't notice any real difference. Weather protection is so good I've never needed to try them for extra comfort. I'm very comfortable down to about 5 degrees without heated gear.

I remember a review of the fjr a few years ago. The engine heat was the only negative.
