2006 vs 2007 FJR1300A - Any differences ?!

[fjr007]

Guys

Can't wait till I get the '07 and getting a good offer on a '06 1300A, besides I prefer the blue color any way :blink: , wonder if anyone spotted any differences other than colors bet. the '06 and '07 ? Thanks

Other than the horsepower downgrade for tick prevention, no.

With the 07 you get a coupon for 30% off any Makita or Milwaukee Grinder to fix the side stand.

... and, you get a lifetime subscription to American Dogpiler magazine.

The price......

Go figure <_<

Great answers so far, awesome site for info, Thanks Again ! :clapping:

Price and color. That looks to be it.

Other than the coupon for Mikita and the magazine subscription.

Now THIS was funny. So simple, yet pure comedic genius in it's simplicity. Good material TWN.

Don't encourage him, he's already having trouble getting his head into an extra large helmet.

I bet a few things will be different:

The recalls will already be fixed

and I bet they have a TPS fix (not that the 06 needs one???) :lol:

Now that's funny!

Slamming those for posting sarcastic non-contributory posts and yet doing exactly the same thing yourself.

"Where's the beef?"

:clapping:

So with your 40+ years of riding experience is that the best you could do?

:glare:

fjr007 - FJR history has shown that for the most part, the FJR is on a 2 year development cycle. So besides color, I would be very surprised if there are any even mildly significant changes to the 07.

Sure got you to bite didn't it ? If it smells like fish.... I see you made a big contribution too....

Doesn't have much to do with riding though....

Since there is no place to postrides on this site, How 'bout you come out to Idaho Rd & 60 Hwy to the Chevron station about 7:30 Saturday morning and do some riding ? The short ride is about 300+ miles (SRC) and I'll be doing a bit more if you can do it, c'mon out...

:nono:

We do have a place to post local rides. We have cleverly hidden it on you however by naming it, "Regional Ride Planning & Information Exchange".

I would recommend going to the southwest section of that forum HERE and posting the ride info, as well as a link to the appropriate FTRG thread.

Gee, 300 miles? That sounds like a lot. :lol:

Don't know if you are trying to purposefully f*** with me or just not keeping up with current events (check out my Avatar?), but I won't be doing ANY riding for a while, unfortunately.

When healthy, you can be sure I will be joing the FTRG on local rides, as well as organizing a few of my own. Hell, I was doing rides with the FTRG when you only had 38+ years of riding experience. :lol:

Meant to be a friendly invite, I see your avatar but wasn't aware of problems.....bummer. Some are just doing SRC to Show Low and back but I plan on at least taking 260 to Camp Verde and if the other guys can hang, we'll do Mingus & maybe White Spars...It's actually a lot of sport bikes and me probably.

 

[Feejer/Weejer man]

Hard to keep up with Scooter unless your willing to do 24 hours at a time.Plus there is a place for ride reports, plug regional rides and IBA thread.

 

[Wolfhound]

Did an In State IBA Oct 1st, not a problem for me...13 mandatory stops to prove backroads...18 hrs 46 min. , 1074 miles, but wasn't out to set any records...I may be able to keep up

So are you saying that we could expect to find some new changes in '08 ?

I was seriously thinkin of '08 for my upgrade date, unless they decide to add another 200 lbs

At least I know that they will have a suspension upgrade by then... I love my Wilburs... best change I ever made...

And I hope it doesn't come out in yellow or something goofy like that..
