Thanks for the suggestions for the bikes and for the interest and info for our trip. We're not particularly wealthy so we're not lookin to buy a new bike, we think we can get better value for money buying late model second hand, hence we're looking for a used 08 with very low miles and hopefully...

Yes indeed Dave, you've got me.

Thanks, appreciate the interest. the reason I'm looking for such a low mileage bike is that we'll probably add about 8000 mls before sending it home to NZ where we use the metric system and when you convert miles to Kilometers it doesn't look so good for resale value.

My wife and I are going to be touring the States on an FJR from 17 Sept this year. Our tickets are booked, now all we need is a bike. After much deliberation we've decided we'd like to get a 2008 AE. We have a 2006 A version here in NZ and before that we had a 2005 so we are very familiar with...

LOL yes I'm meaning 5000 miles not 5000 dollars. I am realistic in my expectations of price.

Hey guys, thanks for all the great feed back on this subject, I've read through a couple of other threads, thanks Dusty, and I'm now thinking that maybe the AE is not actually something to be scared of after all. We're actually coming to the states in Sept for a month and plan on riding across...

Hi guys. I'm looking at bikes for our tour across the states in Sept and I'm interested in your comments on the FJR1300AE. I currently have a 2006 FJR1300A which I'm very happy with but in searching for a bike in the US I've noticed a large number of the AE version available. When I was looking...
