    2007 NEW FJR1300A AVAILABLE

    What about all the FJRS at those places in Tennesee they are advertising for $11,700 OTD? Are they not in stock. Or do people have an aversion to shopping across the miles?

    Possible FJR paint job

    Thats really nice. I like the idea of appliqués. You can change the look anytime (like right after that bank robbery.) Probably us cruiser riders who are the first to paint or personalize. Especially since Yamaha has only one color per year. UNIQUE is a good thing. Make it yours.

    Yamaha Logos

    You also must know that all of Yamaha drum hardware is made in the motorcycle factory. I work for a Yamaha piano dealer and full line Music Store. I see those Yamaha triple tuning forks all day long

    Yeah I called the dealer today and asked if the recall(s) were done on the bike. The Throttle was done. they knew nothing of the Ticking Bulletin. I'm waiting for a VIN number run to see if it has been done. I will also go there tomorrow and fire it up now that I have heard what it sounds like...

    To Warm Up or Not to Warm Up

    One of the things that gets misconstrued is the warm up routine. I believe the vehicle should be moving as to "warm up" ALL the parts. Not standing still idling. But not racing until the engine is warm. In a car or bike I believe you can start and go with TODAY'S engines which have much...

    I'm reading as much as I can in as many forums as I can and have discovered. 1. the price is not all that bad for a bike with only 9K miles in the mid 7's. 2. A huge percentage of owners really like this bike as an end all rather then a temporary solution until they can "afford" what they...

    YEP..Arguing the exact OPPOSITE opinion and still getting a ration from the likes of RAT. LOL All in good fun. I'll play awhile. The smartest guys and the ones I respected "nearly" called me out. In your safety zeal, you discounted me though. I knew you would if I threw a hardball at your head...

    Holy insurance quote Batman!!!

    Got to agree here. Carry the MAX in liability /un/underinsured I do becasue we have no mortgage on the home and savings. I will pass on any insurance company that does not have at least 250/500 limits and 10,000 medical. I usually self insure vs theft and collision. If I mess up the bike my...
