Goodbye G, Hello FJR!

[A41Billy]

Sold My Suzuki today. This bike was my "back in the saddle again". Raising my son and paving a life for my family left me with little time to ride. I had been without a motorcycle for 8 years. I bought this Suzuki three years ago and have had some great rides on it here in the Pacific Northwest. Fast, fun and a pretty versatile bike. It was a great bike and it put a smile on my face every time I turned the throttle. I ride 2up 15% of my riding. My wife liked the Suzuki, but she loves the FJR!

I have only had my Yamaha for a few months and can't wait for some nice weather. Some sunshine today lured my out on a short little run to Applegate Lake. Ahhh, full fairing, heated grips, comfort! I'm not looking back!

of course I like your fjr, but I have to say I have always loved the looks of those suzuki's. I've never ridden one, but there is something about that look that gets me going.

Good eye! Never even noticed.

Beautiful bike! Looks like some beautiful riding up there too.

Still have my '93 G (and my FJR); got it in 2002 and, once I put Progressive springs in the front and had Dennis repair the slide guides, I've enjoyed the hell out of it since. It wears a Rifle Sport fairing and GIVI Wingrack with 2 E41s and an E460. Great bike for riding the Blue Ridge Parkway with its low gearing. Fairly easy to work on, with a bulletproof motor.

Hey another Gman! :drinks: Progressive springs are a must for the G. Best upgrade I did to mine.

Wait..there is a single can option for the FJR? Seriously?

Phew! For a second there, you had me by the thread title.

I thought George/escape had gotten a divorce and his wife took the FJR in a settlement...and was posting up here to talk about it.

Glad it wasn't so George. :clapping:

:lol:

I also added a Russell saddle; helped a problem my bad knee had with the OEM seat. Been with the G group on Yahoo for 10 years now and been to most of their rallies. Gs are starting to get scarce, but not as scarce as my Madura or my X6.
