For the first time ran into 3 FJR riders this weekend. After talking with a couple of them must say the bike has moved up the list of next purchase.
One guy was on his second FJR, now on 06. Rides primarily two up with his wife. I spoke with her also about pillon comfort. She had nothing but good things to say. He swapped out stock for corbin seat which he really liked. He commented the power and the ride cannot be beat.
Sounds like what everyone else says on this site.
Second guy had an 04. Again no problems with the bike.
My only problem is can't do the 07 color. I've tried, but no. And the wife say's no, no, hell, no to the red or whatever it is.
In no hurry so will wait for 08's unless find a deal at the end of riding season on an 06
Still also considering a 07 Triumph Sprint. Nice bike since they fixed heat issue and put higher bars on it. Plus really like that triple engine. Also at bit of a Triumph nut. Downside is even with the new seat not sure if it's as comfortable for the pillion as the FJR.
Like the BMW RT but think just to much money at this point.
Will test ride both with wife before deciding. Sprint, my dealer will let me test ride anytime. Local Yamaha guy, never know. (bit of a butthead)
One of the other guy's in our Triumph rider group really like's the FJR. Think he may be trading in his Tiger for in the new year.
Either way, I have to wait till later in the year. Am looking to change jobs so everything in limbo till that happens and things settle back in, will just keep lurking till then. My Bonneville will just continue to be my ride for now. (and a fun one it is)
