The time has come. I bought this bike a year old with only 365 miles on it. I am a certified Honda cycle tech and have done all of the maintenance on it myself. It has had synthetic oil and Mobil1 filters every 3000 miles since the first service. The forks were serviced with new seals, bushings, and oil last year. Brake fluid and coolant were replaced then as well. The Michelin PR2s on it now are nearing the end of their lives but still have some tread left. Cosmetically, the bike is in great shape with only a few scratches on the pillion handles and a small ding on the end cap of one muffler. I have done the "Trooper Mod" on the mufflers so the bike is a little louder than stock but it is still very civil. The bike has a Power Commander installed and has a "smoothness" map in it now. It also has a passenger backrest that is easily removed if you like.

I love the bike and hate to sell it. It's just not necessary for my 6 mile commute, and the wife and I aren't able to ride together much any more with four young children. This bike has been the best all-around bike I have ever owned, and I have loved it the entire time. I'm located in central Ohio, and you can call or text me at (614)588-4075 or email [email protected] for more info and pictures. Thanks, Matt.

 
Don't do it... Just don't.

When my first kid was born I sold my Victory Vision, keeping the Super Tenere I had at the time. I sold the Vision because it was "too big" for my daily commute, which was 15 miles through the Seattle's worst traffic. To this day I regret making that decision. I never fell in love with the Tenere like I did the Vision. Fast forward to today, we added twins to the family in September. Spontaneous twins, shooting for one and got two. I managed to talk my wife into letting me trade my Tenere for an FJR, with minimal money out. I like the FJR much more than I like the Tenere, and I am hoping I fall for it head over heels once the riding season starts.

Family is important, but so are you. Even not riding with my wife, I still managed 8000 miles of riding last year. Much more enjoyable than caging it all summer long.

That isn't even broken in! GLWS! My '07 has 97K on it and I think it is worth more to me than I could sell it for.

 
Don't worry guys. I have plenty of other bikes in the stable. I'd like to get something lighter and maybe off road capable. I have my eye on the upcoming Honda Africa Twin.
