Goes well though. Oh, and pricey, needs to be below �10k Alan --

A couple of months ago you could still buy NOS examples here (ours are denominated as the FJR1300AE) for $10k, they didn't sell well compared to the manual shift versions. MSRP for a 2009 AE was $16,290 vs the A model at $14,490. I see the street price of a 2008 FJR1300AE has gone up to $10,699 with the coming of spring (scroll down to the bottom of the home page): http://www.larsonscycle.com/ A new non-current Fireblade can be had at Larson's for $7,999, or a Pan Euro 1300 for $12,499. |
