    Dealer offered to let me Test ride an 07. Now what?

    Well, if you want to avoid the issue altogether, you can come on up to where that new house is being built and ride mine! Not too many folks up here in Tehachapi, and I would welcome a fellow FJR rider in my neck of the woods. I have the 06 AE model, which, aside from the fact that they forgot...

    My quiet FJR

    I like the purrfect sound of my FJR, with ONE exception. Being in southern CA, I use the bike in LA traffic, and more than once, have found following one of those "jiggly" Harley's to be of some advantage while lane splitting. Even though I intentionally keep the gears down for better control...

    Money! Very few of us "whipper snappers" can afford the "discretionary" cost of this relatively expensive bike. This was\is a business expense for me, as it is a tool used to travel to client's offices. At least that is how I justified it to my wife :P +1 Quite possibly the worlds most perfect...

    FJR1300AE "The Bike for people that can't drive a real motorcycle"

    Jealousy is an ugly emotion! Make sure to wave and smile while you pass his ***! I think THIS BOARD does that job better than anyone around! Besides, with supply being the way it is, better marketing for the FJR would quickly become a disaster for all of us! I don't know about you, but I would...

    FJR1300AE - is the 'YCCS' a sales flop?

    Sorry toecutter. His information is not quite accurate! What he has been seeing is SEVERAL AE's on the floor. They have one now they have had for about a week and a half that came from another store. They sell 'em pretty quickly (about 2-3 weeks on average), and try to keep them on the floor to...

    Fair OTD for an 06 1300AE in Ca?

    Madmike, Thanks for the Valid Input. I am not of the opinion I got "the shaft" or anything like that. It was a local dealer, the experience was great, and I got it for like 3 grand under sticker. For a bike THIS hard to find, it was a great deal for me! The only thing I did that I regret was...

    Fair OTD for an 06 1300AE in Ca?

    I paid 12,900 + tax, etc. for my AE about a month and a half ago. They sit on the floor because the dealer orders them in employees names at the beginning of the year. The downfall is that the warranty is partially used up by the time you buy the bike. They usually come with 12 months, but if it...

    Motorcycle.com 2006 review of Sport-Touring Bikes

    You know, I saw that article about how to keep the windshield from auto-retracting, and the all of 5 minutes that it would take to do this. I thought about doing it, for maybe a half a second. Did it ever occur to this guy that some people LIKE the auto-retract. I personally chose to keep it...

    It's all mine now.

    Wow, I just looked that up, as I certainly could use more experience and training, and that is RIGHT NEXT to me! I am in for sure! Thanks for mentioning it, I never knew they were there!
