I agree, it works for me. I was feeling like that with the vstrom, short rides, soft suspension, strange looks. Now the the FJR I have stiffer suspension, longer rides, good looks (my wife likes to look at now). I will say I have had rides that last over 4 hours with the FJR but I have not...

I am with fatrat, I really don't find it stiff. Maybe if I rode someones with the spring mod I might think otherwise.

Thanks.

Can anyone look this up in their service manual, I don't have mine yet but I want to adjust the bars on my 06 today. Thanks.

Ok, I finally have a few pics, although it looks like any other 06 but I sure like it. This is the cleanest bike I have owned (I buy used). I really like it and look forward to many enjoyable miles on it. I will be on this forum posting over time, debating on different farkles to add.

Thanks, Thats what they said when I purchased my Vstrom. This bike is great, I think I might see if the wife will let me park it in the living room because it looks like a work of art, I can't stop looking at it. Can't wait to ride it again tomorrow, maybe after I wash it. It is a great...

Im back. Sorry no pictures, it was more of a sprint to just get home. I drove 150 miles yesterday and stayed in MS, then drove 550 miles today to get home, all on interstate 20 - boaring slab. The bike is great, nicer than I expected, showroom condition. It runs smooth, I have no issues with...

I do make them from time to time, mainly the Tuesday night things sometimes. I am also JBH on that forum. I have the blue Vstrom with the cruise control (I know everyone has a vstrom in that group). What do you ride?

I am flying to AL tomorrow to get it, wish me luck.

Today I went to the Honda dealership and was able to test drive a new 07 ST1300. I was leary of the weight but once you get it off the side stand its not too bad. The motor is smooth and the ride is very controlled. The shield goes much higher than the 05 FJR I rented. It does have more...

I will sell the Strom if I get an FJR. It is farkled up good, heated grips, powerlet, real cruise control - not throttle lock, all hooked up to an ignition switched blue sea fuse box with expansion. Plus givi side bags, top box, pat walsh crash bars/skid plate combo with highway pegs. Oh and...

These are great responses. It sound like there are some differences in gen 1 and 2 bikes. Did anyone have the buffeting I described on a gen 1 bike but found it was better with a gen 2 bike? I know I can get a different shield but a good starting platform helps out. My RT1100 was smooth but...

I have always lusted over the FJR so a place local to me rents an 05. They also rent all the competition. I used to have a 99 RT1100 and now own a Vstrom 650. The RT airflow was smooth but I did not like the engine and it blocked too much air for the summer. The strom is the opposite, much...
