    Luv to hear about anyone's Mexico trips

    Had a friend (passed on) who consistently harped on the joys of riding his vintage 72 Moto Guzzi EL DORADO down thru Central Mexico every year to Puerto Villarta.......Can't say his stories of $10 rooms, $5 whores, .10 joints and .25 tequila shots aren't permanently etched somewhere in the back...

    06 Harley color looks like 05 FJR Blue

    I hate to disagree with you, but HD ain't no cash cow....or their stock wouldn't be dead in the water.. I do agree with you about NO R&D cost as HD has DONE NOTHING to improve their engine's performance or Mileage in years. My sister's boyfriend let me ride his new RoadKing and everything...

    06 Harley color looks like 05 FJR Blue

    The same color? That's about the only similarity between the two bikes.....besides, who in their right mind would want a HARLEY? Unless you're just bound and determined not only to be ripped off, but to surround your self with a new circle of friends,,,,ie, mechanics, service writers, guys...

    Buy the Warranty or not?

    One of the main reasons I'm buying a Yamaha over BMW is reliability. I can't imagine any problems (even on an AE) as I've never had any problems in 40 years with any of my Hondas......So, I'm asking you Yamaha freaks, why not save the money and believe in Yamaha ? Or is there something I don't...

    Break-in instructions Factory vs experts

    Here's a total different way of breaking in a new bike from an expert on Motorcycle Engines....Anybody ever listen to this guy and tried this? Could you tell any difference? What he recommends for the first couple of thousand miles to make the engine perform at it's highest potential is almost...

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    I hope MammaYamaha raises her prices.......I've already got my bike's price locked in and if Yamaha in 07 would sell this bike based on it's competitor's pricing, Yamaha ought to be selling for $17-18K......That would make a used one worth about what we paid for our new ones... It's the...

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    I appreciate all the responses......Thanks to everyone for their imput as it sure helped me in reassuring myself about the FJR decision.......Plus, I've come across some info on a BMW site indicating the new 06 BMW K1200GT will possibly MSRP for around $21,000.....MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! I guess if I...

    2006 Heated Grips

    I think I've figured it out......if you think about it, pulling in clutch lever over 100 times during a ride generates a lot o body heat.....especially in the hands....but without a clutch you lose this heat source,,,,,,therefore heated grips......Yamaha is just about the smartest Motorcycle...

    2006 Heated Grips

    I've geen told the heated grips are in response to Yamaha new design which will not only keep funnel the heat away from on the rider, but actually cool him to the point that heated grips, vest, etc may be necessary even in the summer........I don't really want a bike that cold to ride, even on...

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    So, all of you are telling me that if you had a choice of any motorcycle made (lets say it's a christmas present from your rich Granddaddy), you'd choose the Yamaha FJR? On the assumption that you could only own one bike and couldn't sell it of course............

    Service Intervals

    Looks like somebody pissing down your boot telling ya it's raining......Ask yourself this, why isn't there an expiration date of cans of oil setting on store shelves? If oil can sit on a self for years without going bad, why's it gonna go bad sitting in a crackcase.... It wouldn't suprise me...

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    The repair aspect was my concern eventually turning me away from BMW....I read too many post in the BMW rooms about weeks of disrepair concerning dealer's lack of wanting spend the money to keep a good inventory of parts, resulting in long periods between shipments between German and the...

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    I have notice many saying they are drawn to the FJR because it's a deal..as BMWs have gotten way too expensive...... Is that the big draw........the cheapness? You don't have enough money for BMW or just too cheap to put out the bucks? If money was no object........would you even in the...

    What`s so great about these bikes?

    I you can't wait 4 months for your bike to arrive, I doubt you find waiting 4 months for your BMW dealer to get the parts to keep that thing running much fun!! That is if your lucky enough for the dealer to have someone back ther qualified enought to have have correctly diagnosed the problem...

    What's the NUT when it comes to leathers

    Rather than sitting on the net for hours trying to decide what leathers are best from pics, I figured I'd ask you guys and get it straight from the horses's mouth..... With MONEY being no object! What's your favorite cowhide?

    Skyway's heading south to Cabo San Lucas

    Galazy, I know one thing for sure.....you won't want to cum back....Once you enjoy the freedoms of Mexico for a month or two (nothing is against the law other than murder) the minute you cross back into the U.S. you'll feel like you've enter Nazi Germany...... Yep, you can drink a beer while...
