You should always take every accessory off before a trade.  They don't give you anything for 'em.  By the way, how's that FJR doing?  I like those.

I bought my '93 BMW K75 in '04 for $3,400 and sold it in '05 for $4,200.

I bought my '82 GS450TX in '04 for $350 and sold it in '05 for $1,200.

I bought my '01 Bandit in '04 for $2,900 and couldn't get an offer for it when I tried to sell it in '05.

Go figure.  :duh:

Maybe you were meant to keep the Bandit?  Hey, is that FATE or what?

What makes you think so?  Anyway, in the time since then I've resolved several ergonomics issues and now rather like the little booger.  :grin:

Have you ever posted any kind of review of it?  I'd be interested in hearing about it.  It's on my list of future "maybes", along with the ST1300 and DL1000.

>>Gel seat rocks.<<

I took a tip from a fellow duane here and picked up an AirHawk seat. All I can say is "WOW"! I can ride pretty much indefinitely with this thing, thanks duane!

What's great about the AirHawk is that you can just throw it on any bike, so you if you have more than one bike or if you get another bike, you can continue to use it. They make different sizes, some for the pillion seat, so you may want to consider one for your daughter if she's still uncomfortable with the new gel.

www.airhawkusa.com

Or go to eBay Motors and do a search under "Airhawk".

There's also The Pro Pad, which I've heard good things about, but haven't tried, yet.

Herb,

Here is a thread from the FJR Forum where someone posted a review from motorcycle.com. Kind of long, but I think its a pretty good write-up. Also, Motorcycle Consumer News is going to have a review of the AE (electronic shift) model in next months issue.
