    Advice Wanted

    I'm 5'7" and have a 29" inseam with no problems on the FJR. The '06 comes with an adjustable seat so you might want to wait.

    E- Shift On 2006

    It's obvious from all your previous posts that you're really looking forward to the AE and I'm fine with that, I’m looking forward to it as well. But comparing the kill switch to simply squeezing the clutch to disengage the motor from rear wheel is two completely different things. We have the...

    E- Shift On 2006

    I was wondering the same thing man, but we’ll have to wait and see. I’m waiting to see the things like a stuck throttle situations, engine braking and fast up/down shifting. If 1st is like a car then being stopped on hill would actually be easier than with a clutch and it obviously still has a...

    Gathering Of The Clans, Part Deux?

    I would like to make it, but it depends on my workload as well. It's about a 5 hour drive from my house in El Cajon, so I could probably be in that area around 10 or 11. I'd probably leave really early to beat the LA traffic. Stay the night and come back Sunday morning I guess. I have wanted to...

    Why I Am Not Getting An '06

    I’m hoping I get a good 5 or 6 years and 100,000 miles on my FJR before upgrading it, so I’ll be eagerly waiting for the 2010 model year. :D

    Prospective Rider No More

    I've ridden in the rain and hate it. I can deal with the cold and I take handle being wet, but I really hate being cold and wet. I watch the weather and avoid it when possible but then there are the times when you get stuck in it. I’ve also been commuting daily on it and it does keep me on my...

    Official Wfo-5 Web Site - Online!

    This sounds like a blast and I'm going to plan on attending. My dad lives in South Lake Tahoe and I can swing by his place on the way.

    Lane Splitting Article

    I had this last Thursday off and I was heading to my gym at 7:00 on interstate 8 in San Diego. The morning commute on the 8 gets pretty packed so I was lane splitting off and on as I could. There was a good stretch just before SDSU that I was following a CHP and then some guy on a Suzuki was...

    Wow, great route man. I'm going to give it a shot when I have the chance.

    Breakfast At The Cracker Barrel, Yuma, Az.

    Well, I rode out to Yuma, Arizona with a friend from work to have breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. He rides a 03 BMW 1200 RS and it was his idea. He’s trying to break me on some light touring and I jumped at the chance. I put in 373 miles today and while that isn’t much for a lot you riders...

    Covering Your FJR At Work, School, Etc...

    My bike is garaged at home but exposed to the elements at work, school and the gym. Those Covermax half covers are pretty nice and I'll probably pick one up for normal commuting and keep the full cover for my longer trips. Right now the biggest PITA factor I have with the cover is the valuable...

    Covering Your FJR At Work, School, Etc...

    I've been riding the FJR to work, college at night and to the gym more and more often but I haven't been covering it because of the PITA factor. I was just curious if there was anyone else taking the lazy route?

    Bottom Line Price

    I would say that a minimum of 10% off the MSRP and make sure they're not trying to add in any "Setup" fees.

    Insurance Quote

    I pay 74 a month with Geico.

    Now I'm Worried

    That's exactly what I'm getting as well. I've owned the bike just over 2 months and I have 2200 on it now.

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    I had to post an update. I already received my YES package from Yamaha and D&H Cycle hasn't even cashed the check. That was an 8-day turn around. That was amazing customer service.
