"other bikes" is the answer. Just go get a weestrom or an fZ6...which are great bikes and perfect stablemates to the Feej.... Ride them for a week or two and then jump back on the FJR. See how it feels then. BAD ***! I would also have to get another AE if my bike was totalled btw. and ****...

so far... I find them much louder than the pr2'S

I recently - and unexpectedly - did 2700 miles on an FZ6. It ended up being a great experience and the little bike was a blast in the twisties would be the bike I would take to Alaska. It definitely felt like roughing it compared to the FJR and was difficult to hear my headset music...even with...

I just put a set of PR3s on the FZ6. The bike isso much lighter than the FJR but it will be interesting to see how they do on the next trip.

In my experience...just about everything about the HD motorcycle experience is annoying to everyone who isn't on the HD.

the Force is strong with this one...

Well the FJR broke down on me in Covington, LA after a particularly horrible rain shower, but I was able to limp it to the Baton Rouge Yamaha shop. They were unable to diagnose the exact problem so I considered my options. I ended up buying a used 2009 FZ6 from a local girl and continued on...

FJRBandit & I are heading west on Wednesday for a Big Bend NP run. I was out there in October with the wife and told him what he had missed. We will be in Austin Thursday night then riding through Hill Country and the Three Sisters and on to Alpine. Saturday we will ride the Natl'l Park and...

just 40,000+ as of last week.

Whatever it weighs, it is a lot less than my FJR and should be easier to handle for a 150lb kid. Plus he'd be able to keep up on the highway. I cannot think of another bike that would be better suited. Maybe a Triumph ST...but I like the Yamaha and I don't need another full time sport tour...

I have 2 teenage sons and would like to introduce them to touring. I am thinking that an FZ1 with Givi bags would work and I like that they are only 450 lbs. Has anyone here ridden long distances on one with luggage? Does the chain drive cause excessive vibration? Thanks

Great report!. I too am a die hard Rush fan (my kids are named Geddy & Neil) and the wife and I just got back from our own Big Bend NP exploration....so I feel ya!

My man Hellcreep in da house! looking forward to making another video with you buddy.

I saw a set of the new Pirelli Angel tires on an ST the other day and they look pretty cool

Group ride sounds like a plan

Add another Florida. My wife & I just registered. Looking forward to another NAFO and those great roads!!! :yahoo:

a big +1 :clapping:

I still have issues waving at trike "bikes" - just go ahead & buy a miata - but my wife tells me she thinks it's great that the old folk's riding them still have the motorcycle spirit. She says one day I may not be able to handle a two wheeler due to a stroke or something and I might beg for a...

I use a first gear silverstone and love it. I have the clear Tankslapper film on my tank so I don't worry about the sratches. but stuff happens. These bikes are appliances - to be used for adventure and eventually discarded. Just ride the **** out of it.

do it. It is really just a 1300 mile trip. The rest is just coming home.
