Great story! Make sure you give us a ride report on the Russell

I agree with Roz, the sizing seems to run small. I also bought a XL Exo700 when I fit into a large Shoei, Arai, and several others. Also like Groo, my ears do the same thing but prefer that over not having alarge enough ear pocket like my KBC VR1. The Scorpion is louder than the VR1. All that...

I'll wave in a corner depending on the corner and the lean angle required. I saw a guy on a Duc wave at me when he was at, or very near, maximum lean angle. This was on a mountain switchback, TIGHT turn. I just waved back and later shook my head. It was a pretty slick move, but not one I'd...

This is a phenomenon I noticed as soon as I got the FJR. Riding a sport bike, I (and my riding partners) almost always get waved at by other sport bikes, usually waved at by metric cruisers and tourers, half the time by harleys, and almost never by BMW riders. On the FJR, the BMW riders almost...

It looks like we will be doing it two up on the FJR this year. It will be Tina's first attempt at an endurance event of any kind. There will be one or two or three more going along. All but one are up in the air at this point. We are pretty casual about this one but try to maintain a good...

Last year it was a week before the IBA National Meet. I don't think anyone used it as a warm up ride though. :) Did almost 200 miles today on the FZ. It was COLD above 8000' and too warm below 6000'. But, the good thing was their was NO traffic. A cold thursday must not be a good day for...

Roger is right and wrong. The FZ1OA people don't try to make an FZ1 into an FJR. Maybe 10% put hard luggage on them. Even when I did a SS1000 on mine FZ, I used a 35 litre tail bag and a street fighter windscreen and stock seat. The only other "mod" I did was put the gearing back to stock...

Actually the future wife loves the silver one so we are searching for a 03 or 04. She rides a silver 06 Kawasaki Ninja 650R and wouldn't have to buy all new gear to match a silver FJR! I would need a little new stuff to color coordinate, like a jacket and lid. My stuff is all Black and Yellow...

Greetings! this is my first post as an FJR forum member. It looks like there is a wealth of excellent knowledge on this site just as there is on the FZ1 board, which I have been a member of for a long time. I do not have an FJR yet but suspect that I will by next weekend. :) The Colorado...
