Seller's remorse = 2016 FJR1300A

[Bellerophon]

I sold my '08 AE last spring and almost immediately regretted it. I rectified my oversight today by buying a '16 A. I thought about the ES, but did not feel the need for electronic adjustment. The bike is still in the crate and I'll pick it up this coming Tuesday. As one would expect, I am more than excited. I'll post some first impressions soon. As they always say, "this post is worthless without pictures".

And lastly, I can't forget the '08, Gone, but not forgotten.

Congratulations! I regretted selling my 06 the minute I watched it ride off in the sunset. Never got over it and like you got another one, but I much later than you. That 16 model looks to be pretty sweet. Enjoy!

What a sweet looking bike ! (Even in the crate)

I decided to sell my Dakar and try and wear out my '05 to make room for the '16.

Congrats on a smart choice !

Bellerophon,

End of last summer I picked up a used (4300 miles) 2014 ES from your neck of the woods. (Caldwell). Now I wish I had waited for a 2016. Enjoy and let us know what you think of the 6 speed.

Are you able to video them putting her together? Congrats

 

[FJRPittsburgh]

Spectacular! Gotta love a new bike in the crate. The best is yet to come.

 

[NTXFJR]

Congrats! That is one sweet looking machine even just sitting there in the crate. You're gonna have to post some first ride reports for us.

Lookin good. About 14 months ago my 06 became a Tenere. That new 16 in cobalt blue has sure looks great. Enjoy your new ride.

Congrats on your new toy and welcome back to the madness! (In March no less)

You sir may be the first on the forum to actually take delivery of a 2016. Will the weather up in Idaho allow you to ride it now?

...still waiting on mine.

Hang in there Joe, it'll be over soon!
