    '87 Rebel 450 for new rider?

    The 450 Honda Rebel was my first bike when I returned to riding. What a nice bike. I loved it..Real low seat hight for the short guys/gals and a blast to ride. Never had a bit of trouble with it.

    Painting Bike - Color Opinons

    I love the red and black...prolly why I bought a red and black suzuki when I got rid of my 2003 fjr...but why do they keep the underside silver? IMHO it would look so much better black there~

    Recommendations for FJR Alternative?

    You might consider the SV650..I had an FJR and it was a bit too top heavy for me. After I laid it down I knew I had to get rid of it. I got a gel seat for the sv which lowers it some as well. I have added a Givi windshield, heated grips, sliders, rear spools (for the rear stand I got for...

    FJR

    I used to be a member here when I had my 2003 FJR. As some of you know I had a get off and when it was repaired I traded it off for a smaller bike. At any rate, a fellow employee was telling me yesterday that he saw an article that the FJR had 25% of the market now for sport touring...

    FJR has sold

    Thanks to all of you who wished me well when I dropped the bike last November. The FJR is a great bike...just not for me...it's just too heavy and I never tour anyway. I have a 2006 Suzuki SV 650 now (picked it up today) and very happy with it. You all are a great bunch of folks. Thanks for...

    PDP - why and what is it really for?

    Your post is valid..BMW is a nice bike..has a few farkles stock the FJR doesn't have..Have bikes to try out I hear...Just a bit more pricey..Up to you what you wanna buy I'd say. The deal is to ride isn't it? Does it really matter what the bike is?

    FJR Down

    I just went thru same kinda thing last Veterans day...broken rib..major damage to right side of the bike..Cost was $3000..no way I could pay for it so turned it into insurance (that's what we get it for). I hit oil on a freeway offramp that someone had left for me..Get the bike to a shop, turn...

    Yamamama has smiled on me...

    I ordered Avons from FJR Goddies last year. Took them to a shop close to me to have them put on. He had nothing good to say about Avons at all. I just smiles and said I'd be back in an hour to get the bike. Love these tires!~

    Saddle Bags

    Twilking 50 : Yes much more functional for day to day..I painted them silver a couple of years ago and have hated the botched up job I did. Much better look. https://www.geocities.com/trap_35/bags5.jpg

    Saddle Bags

    Sees all the varied posts and just chuckles. Why is it so many find that a simple solution is so not worthwhile? Why does it have to cost alot? The paint was $7.99 and the sandpaper $2.86 and a couple hours sanding and painting..taking my time with a beer~
