FJR1300 - 2003 by beemr74, on Flickr

Low mileage (18,886) on this very well maintained and always garaged first edition FJR. This is the version that was quoted with a 3.0 second zero to 60 time in Cycle World. The bike has gotten heavier and slower since the 2003 version.

Owner (only one owner) has decided to cut back on road riding and focus on restoring (and riding) vintage motorcycles. There are still plenty of miles left on this terrific sport touring motorcycle. All of the maintenance is current and the tires are almost brand new. The battery (Westco) is less than two years old and is routinely recharged with a Battery Tender trickle charger. Many upgrades and accessories have been added to this bike over the years, as listed below

Every time I see bikes like this I want to grab it for a spare. When I go to sell my current one I'll get $0 "100,000 miles, road rash, no records" runs like a champ though

I know! But I already have a spare! I want more! :lol:

I often wondered what my original Dirty Ol Whore was worth at the time of her demise......

You can own FJR history! Highest mileage FJR known with only 226,000 miles! Only driven to church on Sundays by a guy who rides like a little old lady. This FJR holds the current record for miles ridden in 24 hours! Completed two Iron Butt Rallys! Not a piece or part on it that doesn't have a scratch, heavy duty road grime, or a hole! This FJR just OOOZES character! Only dropped 3 times, and only crashed 3 times! Lovingly maintained - still and everyday driver and runs GREAT!!!!

:lol:

$1,500?

$1,000?

$500?

Would I have had to give it away?

Paid somebody to come and take it?

Really SWEET looking machine!

I had been thinking of looking '06 and newer, but...

OK - tell me why I would rather this machine vs a newer?????

This FJR holds the current record for miles ridden in 24 hours!

Will that record be broken at the Alamo Express? Inquiring minds want to know

I'm shooting for more than the basic of the ride, I seriously doubt that I can top your WPF outing though

For one thing, it's a classic - because it is the first year the FJR was imported into the USA. For another thing, it's quicker than the other FJRs. If you read the annual Cycle World performance tables, you can see that only the 2003 FJR is quoted with a 3.0 second zero to sixty time. Also, I didn't mention that I performed the 'heat fix' on it to divert some of the engine exhaust away from the rider. It took Yamaha a few years to do this themselves. And finally, it has a lot of great farkles, not the least of which is the great Wilbers adjustable rear shock. This is such an improvement over the stock shock that would probably still be on the 2006 you may be considering.

Less than 19,000 miles and new Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires - how can you go wrong?

No. That record will never be attempted to be broken by me. 24 hours of complete insanity was more than enough for this boy's lifetime.

Still, the thought of getting on the '2k Day' list for a second time has crossed my mind.......

Very nice bike, I'm of the opinion that a clean "virgin" like this beats a new Gen II any day. Wish I had the extra cash to justify a spare and the last two posted recently are stellar choices!
