Hello from SoCal

Hello All!
Prospective FJR owner. I'm in the market for a 2013 FJR here in the greater Los Angeles area. Looking to ideally spend no more than $6,500. If have any prospects please let me know!

Welcome from metro Seattle! No leads, but be patient and you'll have an FJR in no time.

Good luck with the hunt!

Thank you so much! Oooh the patient part though......I think that's going to be the hardest part! =)

Thank you! They really are fun! Rode a '13 and a '21. Super nice!

Be real flexible on price. I found a 2010 in Lewisville, TX. 9000 miles. $9250. 8 years and 20k miles ago. If you have traveling in mind the FJR delivers. Man, what a motorcycle.

That rocks! I love the long legs of these bikes!
Unfortunately that is pretty much my budget right now. As much as all the bells and whistles would be nice on the '13 I'm seeing '08-'11's up for sale in my area that are more in my budget. Anything to be aware of on these bikes?

Speedbird,

Check CraigsList both locally and nationwide:
www.searchtempest.com

Fly'n'ride is a popular approach to getting your best FJR deal back to your home The FJRs have long legs.
Also check newspapers (remember newspapers?), TV stations (if they host want ads), and CycleTrader locally, although that last one is spotty, at best. Beware of deals with any third parties in them, and salvage titles. I would not carry cash, debit, or gift cards there, or anywhere. Happy hunting!

Welcome to the forum. How's the hunt?

Hi all! Got super busy and had to put the bike search down.....well by chance this week a mint 2010 Honda NT700v went up for sale down the road from me that was very much in my budget (extreme low side). Ended up going with that for now! Someday I'll get me a FJR but for now I guess I'm a Honda guy?!?
Thanks again for all the support!
