Falling in love with my FJR

[HotRodZilla]

I too converted from a big cruiser. My last bike was a VTX 1800 that my wife and I loved, but I rode it way too fast. I was always dragging the boards and bringing that beast to a stop raised my hairs more than once. About 5 minutes after getting home from last years Laughlin River run, my best friend showed up with a brand new Triumph Sprint ST 1050. I took it for a ride and after that, the search was on for a comfortable ST. I looked everywhere and at everything and the FJR just stood out. This bike has me hooked. Every day the sun is out I wanna bail outta work. My wife says she liked the VTX better, but she never fell asleep on that bike at 130mph.

Nope you are right on schedule. Love riding my FJR. No wife to get pissed at me so, I get to ride more.

Get her a back rest and take her with you.

I have had my FJR for about 3 months and only have put about 1200 miles on it. I find myself riding it way more than my Harley Road Glide. I bought this bike because a I had a Kawasaki Nomad I couldn't get anyone to buy and a friend told me about an almost new 05' FJR at the local dealer. I went and looked at it and made a trade. At first I thought it was pretty cool but never pictured myself riding it more than my HD. Now I can't get enough of it. The only thing that scares me about it is I ride it too fast. I rarely ride my Harley over 70. I find myself riding my Yamaha over 80+ way too often. It feels much safer at speed than the Harley. The bike is exhilarating. I can't wait to take it on a road trip. I can't imagine ever getting rid of my Harley especially since my wife enjoys riding on it so much but you never know. T.
