No-one been here for a while... Here's a pic of what has been my main bike for the last 40 years (in various styles of incarnation)... Along with the part-stripped 4/4 lurking in one of my sheds and some alternative horsepower in the background. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/02/04/DSC_0247.jpg) K I haven't ridden a bike for years - last bike was a Z1100. I'm interested to know what the handling is like for bikes that have the larger front tyre? I think they look great - but not sure if there's a compromise on handling?

by larger do you mean a fuller 16" tire or a tiny 21" tire?

Hi Nielda.... Never noticed any untoward handling issues and all the big 'glides had big front tyres ... Logically you might expect to notice something on bikes with a wide rear tyre and thinner front as they would run more and more 'out of line' as you leaned over.... Never noticed that either when the bike was more 'chopperish' back in the early '80s... So maybe I'm not that observant (or not trying hard enough!). :-)

For 2020 I added a new bike to the collection. Not collectibles, just bikes I buy to use - and use I do, for many years - and then for some reason keep and dont sell. So, next to the 33 year-old FJ1200 and my faithful 15 year old XJR1300 … now sits a new Tracer900GT. With this one I may even convince the mrs. to do some loooooong trips as we used to do with the FJ … 30 years ago!  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/V693W7gr/3-yamahas.jpg)
