    Is an FJR right for me?

    Well I went in a rode a 2014 FJR today. After being worried about my height and the size of the bike I was very relieved sitting on it and riding it today. I'm no longer concerned with that portion. The ride also went well. It reminded me of my Ninja 1000 with a better seating position...

    Is an FJR right for me?

    My dealer thinks they are now able to locate a 2016 ES and make a trade for it.

The were also able to locate a lowering kit that can drop the...

    Is an FJR right for me?

    Planning my parking spots is always on my mind so that wouldn't be new. The FJR is quite a bit lighter than my Road King as well....I think by almost 200 pounds.

    Is an FJR right for me?

    I haven't thrown a leg over yet. Now that I think of it the Ninja 1000 I had had a seat height a little taller than the FJR and I don't remember problems with that. I just remember leaning on one foot at stops. Moving it around the garage was more easily done while off the bike. I will...

    Is an FJR right for me?

    The dealer that I would work with is a Harley and Yamaha dealer. I would say 85% of the motorcycles they have in stock are HD's. They only have 1 FJR and it's a 2014 and has never been titled. The problem with this they don't let you test ride a new model. I guess I could go sit on it but...

    Is an FJR right for me?

    This is what I needed to hear. Thank you both for the responses. I guess my height is really limiting my choices and the Road King might be my best bet...
