Wait, which of these routes are all paved and which have gravel roads?

Those two Shoei helmets are worth $1000! Great deal, glws

Another vote for the 14ES, just like mine! I prefer red over blue, 5 sp over 6sp, LED lights and lighter clutch lever pull would be nice, 13k miles is just broken in and not much more than 2.5k miles on an FJR. Three of the four items tip the scale to the 14ES and it's a bit cheaper so you can...

Nice! Are you the first Gen 3 owner with 100k miles?

Obviously I'm biased in my preference but after owning a 2008 and a 2014ES, I think you would be pleasantly surprised at the gen 3 FJR's "buttery shifts, lack of vibration, and decrease in heat output". Also I admit to liking the sporty side of sport touring!

Get a gen 3 ES, add bar riders and BT headset and you have the best of both bikes!

I'm now over 50k and still no issues

I agree it's not a bad gig and I hope to be doing it in a couple years. I already have the class a motorhome and bike trailer!

My gf is joining me at NERDS but not at EOM.

Are you full time RVing?

With PB crapping in everyone, pics will be non-existent! I'll show you in person at EOM if you attend.

50,911 miles on 2014ES. Turned 50k while riding in Maggie Valley two weekends ago.

Hooterville is tentatively planned for Oct 13-15

This sounds perfect, John! However, I'm good with 400-500 miles per day unless there is something specific to gawk at. Regardless, this is sounding like a great ride!

So, how was your first day on the fjr?

I have tentative plans to do this next summer with a local friend who rides a Goldwing. Pushing back to 2019 is possible. Like John, I don't tent camp any more so I'd need hotels each night and I'll be on the FJR.

I'm in +1

@Karen, yes you lift under the headers. Oh, and welcome to this forum! It may take is a little while to respond due to life happening but you will find many answers in here.

What year is the fjr? Earlier generations had two horns and more recent years only have one. In either case, compact air horns can be installed in the stock mounting hole. You will need a relay, which hopefully came with the air horn. I installed a Chinese knockoff on my 2014ES three years ago...
