I doubt that was exactly what he was saying. The FJR is a first class ride and for me is the standard I use to judge every motorcycle I see.If I ever feel like the FJR is like ordering off the dollar menu, I'll stop riding it...and I wouldn't keep it in my garage either....Sometimes you just get sick of ordering off the dollar menu and splurge on a #6...
I have owned a dollar menu bike. If any of you can relate to money being tight, you will understand. Laugh if you want, but I owned a Suzuki Katana 750, that is definitely a dollar menu bike. I wanted either an FJR or a Honda ST but I could not afford either. I bought the Suzuki, my Dad and Mom showed up when I picked it up and paid for my helmet and gloves as a gift. They later surprised me with the soft saddlebags to make it a proper "Sport Tourer". I was happy with it until...
The day I rode Dad's brand new '07 FJR home from the dealership, my whole life changed. The fit and finish, the beautiful styling, the smooth endless power, oh my... I could go on and on. I would never call Yamaha's flagship bike a dollar menu bike. That FJR forced me to re-align my priorities and has led me and Dad to some truly fantastic motorcycle vacations.
