Got the FJR itch!

[2WheelDave]

Hello from BC, Canada!

I've been riding for 45 of my 60 years, the first 25 or so on sport bikes. My wife and I did a bunch of touring on a 2005 R12GS before I decided to boil my garage down to one bike, a KTM 890 Adventure R. Previously I had a road bike and a dirt bike or two for irresponsible fun. A riding buddy is trying to convince me to get another more long legged bike so we can do some multi day tours together, and an FJR has always been on my bucket list, so I am in information collection mode. Forgive my inane questions please!

Welcome from Texas. Your and I are alike. Except I still need to clean out the garage. I was looking for a bike that could compare to my long gone 2008 Kawasaki C14, so I picked up a new 2024 FJR in Oct and love it. Lots of easy mods available. Grab one before they are all gone!

Until recently I had only a 2022 Tracer 9 GT which is a fantastic bike and keeper. I too had my eye on the FJR and I found a preowned one in September, a 2016 with 12k miles on it. Perfect condition, all service records. Wonderful machine that complements the T9GT. Previous owner loaded it with crash bars, extrafront lights, plush seat and Givi top case. I've taken a couple of 500 mile trips on it so far and I cannot imagine wanting another bike for distance, comfort and sportiness. You won't regret owning on of these. But act soon, I see they are becoming scarcer all the time.
