    I'm PISSED !!

    Yes, this happened to me as well. I had stopped for gas, put down the stand, got off the bike, and she started coming down. I quickly grabbed the handle bars and threw my butt against the frame and was able to put the bike upright and back onto the stand without any damage to the bike.....but...

    Any Reason to not buy an '06 model?

    I bought my '06 earlier this year. It had less than 4000 miles on it. I absolutely love this bike and the blue color is the BEST!

    Close Call

    Did the same thing on some loose sand in the road on my SV650 way back in '04 just after I bought it. Had the wife on the back, going through the corner...rear tire sliding, left leg smacking down to the ground. I stayed up and my knee was a bit sore for a few days, but all was well. Much...

    pulled the trigger... back in the fold

    Yeah, I really hated to see it go, but this bike is so much more comfortable for longer distances. Plus my wife will be much more comfortable on back too. I'm looking at the different back rests....the one from Pirates Lair seems the most reasonable. All that plus I didn't have enough room in...

    pulled the trigger... back in the fold

    Sweet! I just pulled the trigger as well. Bought an 06 (manual clutch)....love the BLUE! It is my first FJR and my second bike. Traded in my 03 SV650. So far I've only ridden it home from the dealer, but all I can say is WOW....I mean WOW.....what a bike! So smooth and sure footed. Can't...
