Not sure - at my age I tend to remember Kieth from Tulsa on the Yellow Super Hawk etc. It's terrible to recognize the helmet and bike but not the name or face. ;) <_< Does he work with law enforcement?

OK - then we have a friendly disagreement. If as many have replied - heat isn't an issue and Yamaha didn't NEED to improve cooling, by riding an 05 I would learn whether an 05 is or isn't my cup of tea. If, for me, it isn't, but whatever my issue is appears to be "improved" by the 06, then...

Tony, Keep me in mind if any of your pre-orders change their minds. Not sure about the opening ride - St. Patrick's day in Key West is the "Walk of Shame" an event I usually attend but we'll see...... My attempt to be friendly - My wife and I have a cabin (we call it "The Dog House")at...

Damn - I'm damned if I answer damned if I don't. He told me he had 2 reasons: first heat; second his wife did not like it as a passenger - she actually preferred his GS!

I'm learning here .... first you ask an unfriendly question then you give a rational answer! Perhaps I don't need an 06 if a new or "cherry" 05 will suffice. Or perhaps they might like to ride my R1150RS or perhaps they are just being friendly. Of the 2 FJR pilots I ride with one was a prior...

That's an offer I really appreciate ..... I am contacting D&H today just to talk and will be riding to Bike Week (can only take a day or two of the noise) then on to Key West. Thanks again ..... and once the weather improves if any of you want to ride the Ozarks (twisty heaven) drop me a line.

As I said I do a little research, from Yamaha's own web page: Advanced air management system and new bodywork, keep the FJR looking and feeling cool. New, curved radiator with revised ducting and twin-ring cooling fans keep engine and cockpit cool. Normally I find if something is mentioned...

You guys are missing my point completely - my decision has nothing to do with Yamaha's dealer-customer relationship but everything to do with whether the bike meets my needs. I do my research - and everything I've read about the FJR indicates there is only one complaint that might effect me and...

.... So instead Yamaha decides to cherry pick customers by allowing only those willing to pre-order to purchase their product. As I said I'm still fairly confident when I decide to plop down the bucks I'll be able to find a FJR - customers and dealers will always find a way to circumvent a...

Here's the big but .............. I've never bought a car or motorcycle without test riding it first. When I bought my first FZ1 two local dealers had them on the floor - one said it wasn't prepped and I would have to buy it first, the other said give him an hour to prep it and it would be...

Thanks for the welcome; my wife would understand your math! :rolleyes: 2 Kraut vs 4 Jap = ????? Anyone else would mention the lack of Eye-Tie! Even though I still have my 1975 Moto Guzzi 850T, that I bought in Milan and toured Europe on in 75, I don't list it because it needs 2 tires and a...

Yep - it took all of 10 months to take the K1200LT off it's 3 year 36K mile warranty ...... that's why I'm taking it easy on the R1150RS. :D All the bikes in my stable were purchased new and I'll never understand how people sell bikes with less than 10K on them. My wife lets me get...

.... gives me the chance to make the decision between a BMW K1200GT and the FJR!
