Why yes, I am a Smart ASS
I just HAD to post there:
And for some reason this post is not showing up there now.Quote:QUOTE(JAY BIRD @ Jan 12 2007, 04:05 PM)
Fred must have had a change of heart. Latest edition of Indiana Auto & RV has an ad from Chicago Cycle:
New FJR-13 - $0 down - Sale $10499.
Picture in ad is the Dark Cherry bike. Didn't bother to call am happy with my 05.
Call on that one just to call "bullshit!". Thats a grand less than D&H and we all know their deals.

I also picked up the local motorcycle free advertisement when I was at the jewel in Itasca and sure enough, Chicago Cycle has the 2007 FJR1300A listed at 10,499.00.
But two adds in dif places can't be a lie.... right.
and they're 07's in the add right...
I guess the market is drying up since the won't be getting any 07s
Well I posted this on the FJR site so you gues that posted here can see what a great guy Fred is.

I spoke to a customer last week about a FJR.. He would like a 07. At this time I dont have any 07's on my floor and dont plan to get any at this time.
I also posted this for you guys that did not bother to read the whole listing

So Fred, are you TRULY selling a NEW 07 FJR 1300 for $10,499 Out the door? If sooo.....
And the warranty thing just to chime in.
Fred- YOU are the CONSUMER. YOU go to Chicago Cycles and get a GREAT deal on a PDP FJR. You buy the bike in December 06 off the floor. You ride your bike back home to Florida where all the dealers wanted MSRP + freight,+ setup,+ etc. You saved $big$ by buying from Chicago Cycles. November 07 rolls around and several SS1ks and BBGs later you have 16,000+ on the clock and have a tranny seal blow out and it fries a gear or two (insert BMW here). You are lucky enough to own the one FJR that is not bulletproof. YOU take it to your local dealer for warranty work. The dealer tells you the FACTORY warranty expired in June, BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN YAMAHA HAS IT ON RECORD AS BEING DELIVERED TO THE PURCHASER. You Call Chicago Cycles and they say they will fix the bike gratis for you because it is still covered under the DEALER warranty. Now to fix the bike you have to pay to transport the bike to Chicago, Fly back home (this is not a 2 hour fix) and the fly back to get your bike. Or get a Hotel if they can fix you the next day with all the parts needed in stock. Not to mention time off work or away from the family
You still don't understand why someone gets upset after the previous replys? Then the moron statement would apply.
If you don't think someone will travel to save big $, Call D&H cycles in Culman, Al. They have a WALL of thank you letters from ALL over the US. FL, Washington state, Oregon, New York, etc.

This has historically not been the case.

Hell maybe we'll get some new members now!?
So for you guys from the FJR forum readin this...
Welcome to SBN
Thanks for the welcome!
and a big all around
Gixxer I see you are in NC. I loved the Snake US 421! I had some fun on the Playground and took about a 1/4 inch off my feelers and sidestand there. I can't wait to get back up there since Santa brought me a new Penske rear shock.
I waited 6 months on my bike after a $500 was put down and I had never seen the thing. It sucked. The BIG issue we have is SKIRTING the warranty It applies to ALL aspects of the Y.E.S.

How many of you actually read through the posts before you stared the name calling?
And Fred, You still have not answered my question on the FJR forum. Are you sellin 07 FJR 1300 As for $10,499 as the two posters found adds for?
If so I may buy another 145 hp bike that I can ride Iron Butt rides and drag my knees when I feel like it. The big drawback to the FJR is it tops out at around 155 mph.
Bring on the flames to the FNG
Oh, and where is MY damn sticker?
