For the price you pay it should be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but IMOP it's not THAT much better than a FJR....for the difference in price. If it makes you happy go for it.

There's a guy on the other FJR site that sold his BMW to buy a FJR. He said the maint. was killing him. After already spending quite a bit over the life of the bike on maint/repair......... His BMW (I think it was a 1200,not sure) needed the electronic shock suspension replaced to the tune of...

Hey Bryan good to see you back!! I kinda like the pic you had of the FJR with just the top part of the fairing. If It wasn't for the radiator just hanging there it didn't look too bad.

Why not? Looks like all high speed sweepers, it's doable.

Nope. Kawasaki ZRX Rally 2012. He has a ZRX1200 also.

It's not a legitimate gripe if what Zilla says is true, that the FJR with it's 5 gears has lower RPM's than other tourers with 6. In that case it's simply a waste and more shifting/downshifting for nothing!

That thread showed it was only a difference of about 300RPM's, not significant at all.

Yeah Bill you've got to be careful that's for sure, you hit a deer at those speeds and it's pretty much over for you AND the deer!

never mind.

Yeah...he's done a lot of work to it. I was a little off on the quarter time, his best is 10.64, still pretty fast! There's videos on Youtube of FJR's at the strip doing 11 second quarters. He may be slightly off on the time but you can see they were running triple digits a LOT.

I rode from Michigan to Southern Cal back in 1986 of a GS750.

Friend of mine from TEXAS, he runs 10.60's in the quarter. It's Push Mountain in Mountain View Ark. 80 miles in 40 minutes! They start rolling real good at about 9 minutes and again at about 17 minutes. Guy in back is on a FZ1

I switched to NATIONWIDE a few years ago when National General doubled my rates for no reason. Nationwide was the cheapest I could find. I pay about $240.00 a year FULL coverage 100/300, with a $500.00 deductible No tickets or points.

Strange, usually people get smarter with age! Also, when a lot of folks get older they like lighter bikes.....surprised they are choosing HEAVY HD's.

No, go ahead and ask a question.

I think the answer is, lube if you want, if you don't want to, don't.

The answers to my questions were. 1. 3 DOG NIGHT 2. GLEN CAMPBELL

Semongtaulie......was the Rifle screen you had a very large one? I had a CAL SCI Sport shield and it was rock solid in the wind. I now have a slightly taller CEE BAILEY shield with a reverse lip that wobbles in the wind quite a bit and I was wondering if it could damage the mechanism or cause...

No problem.

Little late Howie, I already gave the answers.
