    closest thing would be a Harley 1200 Sportster....especially the new XR1200, and yes, they are very reliable and fun! Good deals on slightly used H-D's right now, too... don't knock 'em till you try riding...<BG> All of the Harley riders are NOT RUBS's and idiots,<G>.... many of...

    Need some friendly advice

    Hope you like the FJR. Remember, you went from a lightweight throw around very high revving lil screamer to a rather humongous extremely fast get from one end of the coast to the other in a hurry bike. And it has enuf room for all your luggage including the wife's hair dryer. Taking the...

    Thinking of selling fjr, what do you think?

    You can always keep it and sell it later for college tuition money! :( anyway.... I can sympathise... I stopped riding when I had kids...actually, I was also 6 months pregnant. That did have something to do with it! :rolleyes: After my then husband's little 450 Suzuki wore out, he rode...
