How do you use your FJR?

[NyquilJunkie]

As a reason to get out of bed each morning,

I thought that's what you used the Nyquil for? :blink:

The green syrup is for getting to bed.

How do I use MY FJR?

As my own, personal, two-wheeled decompression chamber.

I only commute 9 miles round trip and got tired of a backpack with my sport bikes. FJR has plenty of luggage room for all my crap and can still accelerate fast enough to make the commute fun.

Wow, what a lot of information, thanks. I guess I better get some demo rides. I think I would like to go with an 08 or 09. I'm going to have to start getting the Mrs. used to the idea of a new, better bike (so good that I need to spend at least $12,000 and hope I can get it for less so she will think we got a bargain). I have also started her on the road to riding with me more by talking about the comfort and security of either a trunk or a backrest. I have a nice heated jacket to counter her concerns about being cold. I showed her the latest sales brochure of the FJR and said that the gal on the back looked just like her. By the way some of you guys are really funny!

I've been in the market for a different bike for quite a while, my current ride is a 1982 Honda 750F. I have had the 750 since Oct of 2008 and have had to do a lot of work to get it running right. I would like to do more riding and less wrenching. I currently commute to work as much as I can here in Portland and like to get out of the city on weekends. I don't go long distances but like to ride a bit aggressive when I'm riding alone. My wife isn't very excited about riding with me, although she did ride with me on my last bike (81 KZ750 with luggage rack and backrest, 25 years ago). So I wonder if the FJR is more than I need, based on how I ride now. Other bikes that I have been considering are the Kawasaki ZRX1200 and the Honda Blackbird. The Mrs. is a bit balky about how much I spend so I'm looking for used. I wonder if there is better reliability on FJR's 2006 and up. I Have some concerns about overheating since I do so much city riding. I am interested in a clutch model and am unsure about how good ABS is on a motorcycle. Linked brakes will take some getting used to. So please share your wisdom, thanks.

I use my FJR to ride with my grown sons that ride a FZ1 and Honda CBR600. I often ride it when I'm alone as well just for the fun factor. When my wife comes along then I ride my Road Star and she rides her 1300 V-Star.
