    FJR to Super Tenere, regrets, pluses

    I am very close to making the leap from an FJR to a S10. I bought a KTM Adventure a while ago and loved having the capability of going off-road without sacrificing much on-road, but the KTM had a bit too much "character" for me. I prefer Yamaha's solid reliability, and the 2 hour oil changes on...

    2007 FJR 1300A for sale in Calhoun, GA

    Price reduced again to $5500. This is absolute bottom line. If it does not sell at this price I will take it to the Yamaha dealer trade for a Super Tenere. I've already got a quote from them. This is a very good bike for a very good price. It still has a lot of miles left on it. Somebody needs...

    Who wants to go dirt trail riding with Steve McQueen?

    It's been a while since I've seen that. Thanks.

    FJR lean angle

    No problem. That is one sweet ride. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I didn't get to take it up to the twisties, but I could tell from a quick ride around town that it was quick, nimble and surprisingly comfortable. I think the risers helped with the comfort part.

    FJR lean angle

    I had the pleasure of taking said VFR for a short spin and I must say, that bike is BAD ASS! After I rode it, I looked up the horsepower online and it said 172. My FJR felt anemic on the ride home. Enjoy the bike, Mark.

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    85K miles on my '07. Looking forward to busting the 100K mark. Then I'll be half way to 200K.

    FJR lean angle

    Glory Racing - If you're like me and prefer a comfortable riding position and need to be able to carry more than a hankie, you may want to consider an adventure bike. I had a KTM 950 for a while and it will out handle the FJR in the twisties, mostly due to the lighter weight and the superior...

    FJR lean angle

    FWIW - I'm with ya on the lean angle GloryRacing. I notice that most of the guys chiming in on this live in Flatlandistan of some sort and have no phuching idea what they are talking about. I work on my technique constantly, but there's only so much you can do two up. The FJR is no wheres near...

    Miles on FJR

    After 84K miles I thought about selling my '07 because I would really like to have a new adventure bike, but the resale value is basically nil, even though she is still going strong and most likely has many more miles remaining. I guess I'll just keep it, ride the shit out of it, and buy a used...

    Need help!

    Is it in the front end or the rear? It could be a loose steering head nut or a loose axle nut.

    FJR or Trophy?

    I still think the FJR looks better, and it's proven itself, with many going over 200K miles. The Trophy is yet to be determined.

    Stereo bluetooth for riding?

    Thanks for the advice. I think I'll wait on the SM10 and also.

    Stereo bluetooth for riding?

    I recently went from a Starcom1 digital wired system to a Sena SMH10 bluetooth system for the wifey and have no regrets. I link my headset to her, the Zumo and to my iPhone. Music sound quality is way better than the Starcom1, and no wires. I really like the Sena because all functions can easily...
