    Average Age of FJR Owners

    My cursor hovered over the 16-25 selection for a bit then I re read it and realized the OP wanted actual age not the mental state I am in. Perhaps we need a second poll to show a possible correlation of FJR owners being a bunch of childish hooligan crusty old guys ... woooot.

    FJR or Triumph Trophy

    I would consider 3 things before buying any touring or sport touring bike personally and kinda eludes to why I chose the FJR partly. 1. Cost of ownership. parts, service, reliability record. I like to ride not fix, I originally was going to buy a k1300s bmw but after research found the k bike...
