Another +100 mile jaunt after work, Headed back to the Adirondacks, Tracy road and Ensign pond road...
This Fazer is a lazer in the turns, my only grievance is the engine braking is poor... Or maybe I'm just so use to big block 4's and the Harley. Fast bike...

Together they make the seat height about 32.5". Still a tad high. I'm not thrilled about the small tank either. Seems like a nice dependable bike. They've had a lot of time to work any bugs out.
Now that I own my house and I'm adding an out door storage area, I forsee many motorcycles moving into the Jedz residence.
How big is the tank?Jedz Moto

With the 850 needing new tires, I've been riding the V-strom more lately and am very pleased with it. I've noticed it isn't affected as much by the grooves in the highway that seem to take the 850 all over the place. Difference in tires maybe? One thing I discovered last night, it sure gets squirrelly in sand! Changing the rear sprocket to a 43 tooth made 6th gear usable. Now, on the interstate 75 mph in 6th puts the rpm's around 4500. Hard to tell exactly where I am though since I haven't done a speedo correction mod. My GPS app says it's about 4 mph slower than what the gauge says.
Tried last night to post a couple of pics and they got sideways for some reason, so I deleted them. Maybe this one will work.

Tread pattern specifically.
Rectangular patterns and/or a grove around the center contribute to that. (I base this on years of having to ride over a grated bridge local to here, and other comments have seen posted.)
Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.
