It needs to drop in price by $6k to be a valid concern. Until then it's just another bike that doesn't matter to me.

Having been a member of various forums and spanning several bike genres, I've come to realize that the notion of "fellow riders" is a complete and utter waste of time. Especially in the cruiser world, there's little or no agreement on the whole loud pipes and helmet debates, and it just goes...

I brought my F4i home in the back of my minivan and strapped it down to the floor-hooks for the seats. The seat latches are meant to hold the seats in place in a multi-G energy transfer from a 40mph crash. They'll hold the bike just fine as long as you avoid running head on into brick walls and...

Bottom line, you can't see all the way thru' every turn, and sometimes they're tighter or more complex than you originally judged. Sometimes hanging off can minimize the lean and provide more traction. Hanging off is just another tool in the box. Every rider should know how to use all the...

I just joined about a month ago and didn't get one :(

I ended up popping two of the springs. It's a little soft now, but I don't get fatigued any more.

I tell ya... I was scared *$&@)less that my coveted Feej was going to fall over on the Lewis-Cape May ferry this past Autumn. However, it stayed in place just fine on the side stand. I was a nervous wreck the entire time, but another biker there who said he makes this trip every weekend (on his...

If I had to guess, people are getting suckered in by the power and handling of the bike, and pushing it a bit too far for the bike's or their own limits. I had a few moments yesterday chasing some CBRs, Gixxers and Fizzies around. It would have been real easy to push harder and enter the bad...

Safety tips...? Hmm. Considering every third rider thinks he's Rossi's protoge and many of the rest think they're even better, I'd say KNOW YOUR LIMITS AND RIDE WITHIN THEM. Stretch your limits by actually taking lessons and attending riding schools, not by listening to a fellow parking lot...

EDIT: Uhm... nevermind. I didn't scroll down far enough :(

*jedi mind trick* You really, really feel a driving need to trade chornbe your black cherry plastics when your bike arrives. These are not the droids you're looking for. That review was a joke: *paraphrasing* "The FJR is just as good and better in some ways than the GT. The performance and...

Personally, while the historical data would be nice, this forced refresh might just be what it needs. Every third post there was like a "Squid vs Squid Celebrity Deathmatch". "Hi, I like Honda." "**** you, you're stupid." "ALL HARLEYS SUCK!" "We were talking about this ass hat loving Hondas...

*nods* I had one. Never dropped it, but man oh man... that bike will absolutely CURE you about what you think is a heavy and top-heavy bike. After riding that, everything else - including the 'Wing - feels like a well-balanced toy.

Wait... what? Are you sure? That doesn't seem right. That's just crazy talk.

WHAT? Are we talking about the same FJR? Topheavy? Not good slow speed? I'm confused. Or you are. I'm 5'6" and can handle the FJR with no issues. Experience outweighs the apparent size benefits.

Nah, they're nice. The FJR is just nicer.

Job's all done. With the tires warmed up in the house, they both went on normally. Again, thanks for the info and advice.

Yeah. And using the GPS as a fuel gauge is ass. :rolleyes: Guesswork at best. I'd rather use my bike's... uhm... gas gauge.

He fell down. Maybe it was used rubbers that caused it? :yahoo:
