The Zen Micro V is flash based- shouldn't have any problem on the bike. It also has "push" controls so should be more glove friendly.

You done good, lucky- I could only get my dealer down to $15,200 with 48 mo. YES- any lower and he said he would just return my deposit. When I asked about the other prices I've seen here ($11,750- you're killing me here!) he just said he's only going to get one or two of these and he knows he...

Thanks Roadrash- another very good tip!. Uh, dbx, why are you using a picture of my girlfriend for your avatar? (Thanks for the links)

Such a wonderful thing!

Thanks all for the great replies! Looks like it's unanimous in favor of deceptive speed- very grateful for that little bit of warning! Keithaba- thanks for chiming in with the advice about the sidestand- I always used to make sure it was down before coming off the centerstand. I guess that...

Hi all, I've been reading everything I could find here while waiting for my FJR to come in (sometime next month is all the dealer will say) and trying to sell my FZ1. Meanwhile, thanks to you good folks, I've ordered a backrest and rack from Girauld, and a set of Skyway's Delrin sliders. I've...

Glad everything came out alright. I've had several of those situations- in 30 years- 2 in 20 minutes is definitely a bit much though. Sure sounds to me like you did everything right. Maybe that will be your quota of sh!t for awhile. I actually used to carried a few .5" ballbearings around in my...

I was very happy with my 1st Gen FZ1, but am looking forward to the extra versatility of the FJR. Personally, I've found myself more comfortable with the handling of my Yamahas than my Hondas at anything more than about 80-85% pace. Could be me, could've changed, but that's my $.02. I'm sure...

I just ordered mine, I've never had full bodywork before so these really seem like a good idea- not to mention the rave reviews for all of Skyway's work. Thanks for doing what you do!

Wow- I thought (from sitting on one at the dealer) that the mirrors on the FJR were a huge improvement over my FZ1 as far as seeing behind me. Of course, on the road may be different. I wonder if I should steal the mirrors off my bike before I sell it? Actually, just wanted to ask if it matters...

Dang dude! You the man- that could have been a pretty expensive test, no? And here I thought those things in your avatar were just big cherries! Thanks for being willing to take one for the team. And thanks to all of you- the linked brakes were not something I was looking forward to after...

You know I've always found it very easy to get my bikes on the centerstand using the techniques already mentioned, but very often I have trouble getting them back down. I'm kind of inseam challenged so it's a matter of swinging my legs back and forth trying to get enough weight moving forward...

I got an online quote from OTD Cyclesports for $14999, but they have an ad in the Cycle Trader for $14,499, so with that in hand I will be paying another visit to my dealer. I don't want to squeeze them dry because I can appreciate how tough it must be to be a small shop these days, but I don't...

When I went to Chapparal they wanted to add about $1300- $600 shipping, $625 handling, and $55 doc fee to the MSRP (IIRC their MSRP was $13799). I thought it was a bit of a rip until I went to Bert's in Azusa- same MSRP plus ...... You're not going to believe this..... $1600 shipping and...

Got to add my thanks for the write up- I feel much better now! I had a choice between an '03, an '05 or a new FJR. I thought they wanted too much for the '05 ($12k) compared to what I thought the new bike would cost- hadn't figured on how much they could add. After seeing what I ended up paying...

Anybody have anything to say about the Motovations?

My FJR hasn't come in yet, but with my old Nighthawk S I would smooth the transitions by feathering the clutch just a bit. I'm surprised no one mentioned this- does it not work on the FJR?
