Well I cruised into our local dealer today to pick up a new pair of Alpinestar Scout Touring boots, and there it was a brand new 2013 FJR. I really wasn't expecting to see one for months. it was VIN# 0000000014 had a real close look at it. Very nice updating of the faring and lighting. The cruise control is very nice, the traction control and two riding modes are also cool. But I am going to wait for the 2014, that will have the inverted forks and electronically adjustable suspension like the AE in Europe. I do like the the upgrading, but they missed the mark in North America by not giving us the bike that would have converted so many. My '04 is just going to have to roll through 125,000 this year to the point they will give me nothing on a trade in, and I will push it another year of blissful riding. Those younger pimped up models will always be desirable, but this ride owes me nothing, and it continues to amaze me with its power and comfort and great looks. :yahoo:
# 14 was my basketball number through high school and university, so to see that number come up today, seriously spoke to me, but popping $17,500.oo before taxes just doesn't work for me. And with the Canadian dollar riding higher that the US dollar, might just go down to Skagit Motosports and pick up that one. OH, the decisions that life hands out. :dribble:
