Hello from Ireland

Hi I am after getting my first FJR1300 and i hope to learn from this forum.

Welcome! What year FJR are you getting?
It is a great motorcycle and you will find lots of helpful advice here.

 

[Wildone]

I have a 2010 gen 2

I don't know the colours from your part of the world, but I have a 2011 in "Liquid Silver". Same colour was used for 2010 and 2011 in North America.

This is my FJR

Is the black and the blue factory paint/decals or done by a previous owner?
What exhaust is that?
How many miles/kilometers?
Do you have the topbox to go with the Givi rack? That rack is much better at supporting a load than the OEM rack. A lot of subframes have been damaged by overloading and the Givi distributes the weight much better.

Is there something odd with the front brake caliper or am I just not seeing it right?

Sorry, lots of questions but the paint scheme is unique, at least in my region.

Here's mine:

Don't know if that's stock or not but I could guess where the inspiration for it came from.

The paint/decals is standard, i have seen two FJR1300's in the same colour. I have a Givi top box.

Hello from Canada. From our visit to Ireland I remember many great roads and vistas around every corner. The FJR is a very capable bike but it is a lot of bike for the roads you will be on. Ride safe my friend.

In the States, we have to dodge the deer. From remembering our 2 week honeymoon in Ireland, you have to dodge sheep. We loved our time in Ireland!
