    dropped my new fjr!

    Looked up the parts cost on bike bandit and to my surprise it totaled 418.80. I am taking it to the Yamaha shop tomorrow to see what they feel the total cost will be.

    dropped my new fjr!

    I had just finished installing the touring windscreen and went for a ride. The screen is great. Enjoying the 6th day of owning my new fjr. Pulled into the garage and all of a sudden it is falling and I could not stop it. I am not sure what happened, did not have the kickstand all the way down...

    Picking up a 2016es on Friday.

    Sorry about the giant fjr. Had to use a new pic hosting site and I am not too proficient with that kind of thing.

    Picking up a 2016es on Friday.

    Just got back tonight, the bike is fantastic. Had 13 miles on it. The dark blue metallic pain is lovely. Pretty tired put 550 miles on it today, now for its first service. The Yamaha top trunk is great also really like it. First mod will be a touring windscreen, the buffeting at the head was not...

    Joel, Yes it is Mark. That's not bad is it?

    Picking up a 2016es on Friday.

    Had a 2011 before and loved it but sold it as I did not like it for 2 up with the wife. Now I have had a stratoliner in the garage for awhile and we go on rides with that (she calls it "our" bike). I have been working on her for awhile but got the ok to trade my triumph thunderbird storm in on a...

    Has anyone regretted selling their FJR?

    I sold my fjr and regret it, I have two cruisers now and that is one too many. Will have to keep the cruisers for a while but when finances permit I will be one less cruiser and get a fjr again. It just does everything so well. I keep my eye out for other bikes that might work like adventure...

    If you have a cruiser as an "other" bike...

    I currently have two cruisers. Sold my 2011 fjr because the wife did not like to ride on it, no room. I think I was best said earlier in that fjr one up and cruiser for two up. I will have another bike or two in my life but probably not for a long time. Right now if I were to get another bike...

    FJR for Casper Wyoming

    Born in Wyoming and raised and went to school and college in Casper. I agree with the above posts what state is a bad state to own a fjr? Good riding area able to open it up with less risk than a lot of states. Quick ride up casper mountain in the summer or out to alcova, pathfinder lakes. Close...

    zx-14

    I agree with Abercrombie that if your above 7k on your revs you are moving out and wont stay there terribly long. I don't notice vibration when you are concentrating on not running out of road.

    zx-14

    My wife asked me which I would rather have a fjr or a zx and she was surprised when I said fjr. I mean only if you own one bike the definitely the fjr but since I have a cruiser the zx is good to go.

    zx-14

    I traded my fjr a while back although I loved that bike it just was not working for the wife and I. Missed the speed, smoothness, ability to turn without scraping pegs. I bought a Yamaha stratoliner and we have customized and enjoyed it but really wanted another fj or something like it. Was at...

    Power & Acceleration of 13/14 Gen.III vs Gen. II

    More power than the fjr? I sold my fjr after owning it only 3 months partly because the thing hauled ***. At first I thought it was not too impressive because I was driving it like a cruiser with low rpm's. If you want to haul red line it or near, keep revs up and it will get you jail time fast...

    2013 stratoliner S

    Niehart, I agree pics are a must except I cant seem to get it from photobucket today. Tried several times. That's cool about your friend, small world. Got my bike from staacks motorsports in Butte.
