    Is the clutchless model available for 2013

    Wow, a Beemer now? She's going all out...lol...best of luck with the final purchase. As for the GT, I ended up getting the side cases as well as the top case to meet my storage needs and you are correct, it is (at least for me) a great communter bike. I think just a couple more farkles on it and...

    Is the clutchless model available for 2013

    sickchilly, Did you and the wifey end up purchasing the Mana GT? I own one and love it!!! I think the Mana may be a viable option for the OP and it does have lots of power especially when you switch to "Sport" mode. spartan

    Interesting new Honda bike

    Actually, Honda benchmarked Aprilia with this design. Aprilia has been selling the Mana 850 (naked) since 2008/2009 and came out with the GT version (fairing and ABS) in 2010. You can ride it like an scooter, toggle with your fingers are ride it in manual/clutch mode. It is truly an awesome bike...

    Want to rent a FJR in San Diego

    Hey there, Try GP Motorcycles in downtown San Diego. I go there for service and I see signs saying "rent me" on Ducati's, Moto Guzzi's, etc. I know you wanted to rent an FJR, but this is the next best thing. The link is: GP Motorcycles, best of luck. Spartan

    Almost got hit on my 5 mile ride home

    Bob...amen brother B) Maybe before obtaining a drivers license, these tools should have to take a motorcycle safety course to learn that there are others on the road.

    Almost got hit on my 5 mile ride home

    I hear you there...this morning I was riding into work on a city street. I have the green light and some ass on one of the side streets (they have a red light) does his best imitation of a California roll, doesn't stop and rolls into my lane. I lay on the horn and must have scared the shit out...

    Used FJR Price Advice

    Ok folks, Well here's the latest information. As mentioned before, I use my Piaggio MP3 250 to commute from my house to the train station and then take the Coaster (commuter train) into San Diego. I then walk down to the pier and take the San Diego Ferry over to North Island to get to work...

    Used FJR Price Advice

    Hi Paul, Ah yes, the MP3 500...if they had had one in the shop when I was set to purchase mine, I would have been tempted to buy it. But all in all, I'm happy with the 250 and it has brought me lots of joy and happiness. You are correct about the dealer anf what they are asking...would be...
