Silly me, I forgot about earlier FJ's . Nice ride!
I was thinking about the FJ09.
Sounds like an XS650 would be the perfect bike for you.It's a good thing the alternative blows so bad because Old Age sucks bigtime.
Just turned 67. Shrunk from 6' even to 5-10 and change, major struggle to keep my weight around 205.
Went through a few evolutions getting the FJ comfortable. Dang thing was designed for a 5-8 120 pound midget.
Two biggest changes were the Corbin seat and the up-and-back bar risers. Grip Puppies to keep my hands from cramping and mirror extenders so I can actually see behind myself instead of checking for dandruff on my shoulders. (I hear you have to have hair to have dandruff...) Really should spend some more money on upgrading the suspension. The rear shock is probably adjustable enough but the forks need stiffer springs for my fat ass.
Did a crapload of research on windshields and hand guards. Stock windshield is noisy as hell and the buffeting jerked my helmet around no matter where I adjusted it. Stock handguards put the oooo in oogly.
Wound up just taking 'shield and guards off and stashing them in my basement. Much quieter, smoother air.
4-5 hours with breaks is about as long as I spend in the saddle any more, and 2 hours is more likely.
Sounds like an XS650 would be the perfect bike for you.
Lucille is still down with pissing float bowls so I rode my 2007 Honda ST1300 to work today - chilly but fun!
The heat just pours off the matter-antimatter reactor that powers the ST1300. He!! - with the electric windscreen and the heated grips, I'll bet I could ride that darned thing on a freeway in a blizzard (with studded tires of course).
If I went fast enough, I'd get there before I crashed it.
