No doubt my favorite naked pick! Let’s not forget the regular non “R” version. Yummie! :dribble:

Brewtown, sorry old “Blue Brother”…I am now officially bleeding “Alien Green” lol. :D Look for my 14 all dressed up in bad-ass black @ 2WTs. Should be there tomorrow night. I love this bike. Congrats on your new Fireblade! To those looking at the 14, quite simply, this bike can be...

Wheaton, I certainly will continue to ride with you “feejerites” & visit this great forum. Count on it! The FJR is a fine machine no doubt and the people and the administration of this forum are outstanding. It has come a time for me to pass my torch to a new mount. No plans to change my...

….if need be, there usually is a solution regarding ergos on almost any bike and here’s one for the 14 (Not that I have been researching this bike or anything. LOL.): Buell pegs: $40.00 Drops your feet 1 1/4 inches, that is one and one quarter inches. Which equates to a full 1/4 inch lower...

Congrats Super d! You have a fine machine. I test rode one this week. Its motor/trani/suspension/brakes simply outclass the FJR. The ride/engine are so buttery smooth. It will make a fine ST mount with all the aftermarket parts now becoming available. The 14 may find a home in my garage...

…well if they build the “right bike"… (see photo below) this would certainly grab the ST community and shake it up a little. Below is the old ZZR-X concept back from ‘04. It was said to have a computer-graphic instrument panel that you could change like the “desktop” on your computer...

Yes, there is an article on GTR1400 pg. 31 of the May, '06 issue of CW (still nothing confirmed). With the discontinued Connie, it is highly probable that the GTR will be in the ‘07 line-up. …oh and here’s my wish list: :dribble: 1.) Less weight (at least 75 lbs) 2.) Sixth gear trani...

The K1200S is a fine machine. From the seat of my pants test ride…it is no doubt a little faster than an FJR, as is the case “on paper“. Here are some performance stats on a 2005 K1200S (according to 8/05 MCN Pg. 16): ¼ mile = 10.47, 0-60mph = 3.17, top speed 172.2 mph, max rear-wheel hp =...

I think the 14 is purdee! It just needs the lowers and the flat black side grills done in glossy black (which Kawi should have done). See picture below. This really enhances the looks of the mighty 14. What a sexy beast! The 14 is #1 on my list and the only bike I see as an FJR...

HOLD THE PHONES GUYS! I ain’t taken the squid award away from Wheaton (Mark), you know with him being from the flatlands and all. ;) It just isn’t right. LOL. First off, I want to thank Yamaholic (Mike) for organizing the event and showing us all the kick ass roads and having the...

The weather gods are cooperating and the weather looks fantastic for this Sunday! Timbo & Windjammer, what are your plans regarding the 11:00am Saukville meeting @ Corse Superbikes? Let me know if I should expect either one of you. Look for a Duc 999/Aprilia RSV Mille R, Ninja and a few...

Well...a man has to have his priorities set straight. LOL. There will be other bike nights Windjammer! LOL. Parking: Just make sure you bring a "footie" for your kickstand. We will be parking in the grass. To any lurkers that may be interested...here is the link to Road America. (AMA •...

Stu, enjoyed hearing your Muzzy at our local bike night. Very clean set-up! The quality looks outstanding. I was pleasantly surprised with the subtle/mellow deep tone for a 4-2-1. :thumbsup:

There is a tentative plan (weather permitting) to meet a few riders on Sunday, 11:00am @ Corse Superbikes in Saukville. To be confirmed later. Windjammer, where are you located? Tonight, I am heading to 2WTs (Culver’s) in Milwaukee located one block south of Capitol Drive on 124th street...

Lights... Camera... Action! Throw the bitch on the bottle. LOL. ;)

Congrats Mr. RepairMan! Now see if you can import the hard bags & plumbing from Europe and you will essentially have yourself a mini-FJR!

I heard either ‘07 or ‘08. Concept pic below. Rumor has it to be a 1600 cc V-4 and 200 crank HP. I think it would be much better if it had a more aggressive seating position like a café racer (much lower bars) than the concept pic shown. Nothing like the sound of a V-4!

SkooterG, you are correct. I just recently tried to order a Westco battery from Bike Effects (Jeff) for my '05 FJR. He cancelled my order because the factory is "backed up" until June regarding this battery type. I purchased my battery (sealed AGM) from my local Batteries Plus franchise...

Try and get a quote from State Farm. They charge by cc (at least in my area) and don’t care if it’s a Busa, FJR or some type of a cruiser etc. Another cheap bet would be American Family, they classify the FJR as a touring bike but forget them if you have a super-sport in your stables...

Use it all the time. The main benefit I like is being able to let my fingers relax while my palm maintains speed with Throttle Rocker. Get one & give it some time. The majority seem to like it in addition to some type of a throttle lock.
