    Do you ever get the urge to try something totally different?

    You can buy a used dual sport bike for chump change. I purchased in November a 2006 Suzuki DRZ 400-s with 1184 miles on it, plus it already had an fmf exhaust and acerbis hand gaurds.......brand new condition by the way.......for 2800.00. A bud of mine just put on craigslist atlanta a 4k mile...

    Going to the Dark Side

    that is one reeee-tarded tire set up. I would kiss the wife real good and hug the kids extra tight and put lots of extra stamps on the life insurance payment, cancell the stamps, better fed ex it, before I rode off on that jack ass set up. Add yourself some curb feelers so you will have a split...

    salvage title 05'

    I know this may sound somewhat stupid. I dont like buying previously owned motorcycles due to all the saftey related issues with riding a two wheeler. Who knows who may have done what or when. Considering that the bike you are considering is a used previously totalled bike, I would not want to...

    1000cc V5 VFR

    I hope it is true. Never did part with my 99vfr even when the 05 FJR arrived in the garage. my feelings have always been that Honda has in the past and could again build the best bikes available. They build Formula 1 engines and jets for crying out loud. My 2005 FJR is obviously a hell of a...

    Plastic Removable Rivet Source?

    I have found napa parts to be a source for less expensive panel clips. They carry a variety of sizes and styles to fit the countless number of automotive applications. There has been no need to purchase additional clips for my FJR, however my Honda VFR also has a ass load of poorly designed...

    Ticking Issue

    I looked back at some of your earlier post and you mention that you live in Atlanta. I have a previously tick repaired 05, and consider myself knowledgeable on the sound of a ticker. I also mentioned to another forum member way before he officially discovered his to be a ticker that his bike ...

    Possible free replacement FJR?

    A very similar situation happened to me in 1986. I purchased a new Suzuki GSXR750 from the now long gone Wagner cycle in Tucker Ga. The bike would not run right and had a slew of very strange problems. The dealer found a cracked front wheel and many parts missing. Most of the missing parts were...

    Becoming a Dealer

    sounds like a great way to start a million dollar company. first off you start with about 2 million and wait a year or so and then you will have a million dollar company.

    Why so many FJRs for sale

    My take on it is that it is getting near the end of the year. To a lot of people bikes are toys, and some people like to get new ones every year or two. We have new models available from various manufacturers to consider. Bikes dont fly off the shelves in the cooler months. So, anyone thinking...

    State farm likes FJR'S

    My mailbox held a small suprise today. A 29.30 rebate on my FJR insurance premium due to lower than expected loss ratios on this motorcycle. This is a good thing since insurance companies share information. It sure cant hurt in keeping the rate reasonable on a 1300cc bike. Now I am going to...

    2005 Kawi KLR

    real money on a new klr is about 4800.00. D and H sold me a new 06 a year ago for 4699 with no junk fees of any kind. So figure another 100-200 for a new 08. As far as used ones go, a bud just this week scored a 06 with 1800 miles and a few extras at 3800. You cant justify spending more than the...

    Bad day in Indy

    It has been a long time since I posted up anything, but now is the time. The accident was and is a total drag. I see the comments on what should happen to the youngster at the wheel of the car. One thing I have not read was anyone making note that in the article about the crash that stated than...

    VFR - throttle body sync?

    How do you do a throttle body sync on a 1997 vfr that has carbs. I may be wrong but I thought the throttle body only applied to a fuel injected bike. I in addition to my FJR and KLR have a 99 VFR with F/I. I had to remove the entire fuel system a while ago to believe it or not, get to the water...
