This is my current Bike, a 2016 Fazer8. I got it about two years ago as a replacement for my old 97 Africa Twin.

Because I mentioned it in the post, here´s my previous and also first Bike right before I sold it. I had it for 10 years and sold it for a little more than what I originally paid for it.
That AT looks well loved. Did you try out the new one yet?
I did not actually. Even the used "new" ones are well above my budget. So I won´t even make myself want one by trying it out. Judging by the fact that, big rig enduro wise, all I ever see are GS and AT, it shouldn´t be that bad. Still won´t ride one until they are well below 5k used ;-)
I tried the newer one and honestly... didn't like it. I found the fueling to be jerky and the LCD screen was distracting. Plus everything I wanted to change on the bike seemed to be 2-3 levels deep in menus. Riding wise is was nice. Cruise control was freaky as hell!
