I am pretty confident the seat will not work but I am going to do some weekend runs up the coast and get a feel for the seat. If it does not work, off it goes to Russell for a complete reworking. I picked up 3 tickets this year not counting my traffic school and the cop that let me go for 22...

You mentioned you we riding 2-up, what were her thoughts on the GT and did she like it back there? Looks like a great ride! :dribble:

Thank you for the information and I honestly hope I have a different experience with the bike or this could get even more expensive quickly. I am not sure how much two up riding you do but much of my decision was based on her comfort when we are out on the road. There was one piece of streatch...

Thank you and I have already signed up. My screen name is macmovieman My link I will also be signing up for BMW MOA later today too. Not sure what its all about yet but I have been told from many others I need to do it so I will. :lol:

When I was comparing the two bikes this last week my pocketbook was pushing me towards the FJR but in the end I went with the bike I really wanted. Its a big step up in price and I am not going to lie it was much more than I wanted to spend. Yes sir! :o

Yes Richard the GTL comes with this odd thing attached the left handlebar that you need to pull in when you change gears? This canbus wiring harness is a little different and it makes adding things a little more difficult for 'do it yourselfers' like you Richard so you can imagine I will not be...

I wonder if things would change if there was a passenger on the back or going up a hill with a passenger. I get the feeling the FJR is faster but only when riding one up? Its a different bike and there is no way I would take the corners 1-up as well as I could on the FJR. Being 6'5" I am liking...

Yep, it hit $32k OTD loaded. They charge for everything. I wanted a louder horn and they said it would run 3 hours of labor (not going to happen), I wanted my BMW (powerlet plug) on the driver side 'hot' so I could use it to charge the bike when in the garage, I wanted an LED light on the...

My FJR was my first love and I am still not sure if I will get rid of her or keep her. To be honest if I can find the room I will keep her and take it on some of the group rides. I will give you guys some A/B reports as I get some miles on her.

I just picked this up today and I have been wanting one since it was released. Got it with the tall seat, tech package, safety package, the Nav IV, and a couple of new Schuberth helmets with the wireless comm. I know its no where near as good as the Autocom but I am ready to go wireless. Still...

Richard, is there a TPM system on the bike?

I made a few stops on the way home today and I will get my quotes back on Wednesday and Thursday. One is for the Yamaha and another for a BMW. I have tried to fight the urge for too long. Richard have you decided to upgrade your muffler?

Reading these posts are making me think more about more about making a change. I am having quotes run as we speak. Thanks alot Richard.

Great looking ride and congratulations! What are the stock tires on the bike from the dealer? Can't wait to hear more about your thoughts on the suspension as you begin to flog the bike.

I have been running the Gen IV rig with the dual controller since it came out in some pretty cold weather in the teens for about 7 hours of riding with no issues. Great set up.

I am still using smarttire with no issues after 5 years now. Saved my bacon a few times now. :)

That was actually my bike. One of my favorite looks was when I told him there was no clutch and he needed to switch gears with his fingers! He went on to say that he got it up to 90 mph without any effort and it did not feel that fast. :lol:

It's SPUTNIK Steve! :P

This was a close call but ended in a warning for doing 74 in a 55.

It was nice meeting you over the computer half way around the world. I am still on a Tequila buzz as I write this! :dribble:
