Hey fellow riders, long time lurker but have been hankering for an FJR for several years.  Been riding an 01 FZ-1 for about 15 years and it is finally getting a bit long in the tooth so I pulled out the CC and put a downpayment on a 2020 ES model.  I was thinking of going with a used but when the 2020 color pattern came out, I had to match my truck!

Love all sorts of riding whether it's just a quick run to the gym or heading out for the weekend with the little lady.  Nothing encapsulates the feeling of the open road on two wheels! 

Keep the shiny side up fella's (and ladies of course)!

 
Congratulations on your future purchase.  You made an excellent choice.  I know, because I just purchased and received mine on April 3rd.  I have almost 500 miles on her now.  I ordered the bike cover and received it, I ordered the touring screen which is on back order.  I have to tilt my head down a little or the wind beats my head to death.  The windscreen should be here on the 29th.  I am 5’ 9” tall if that will help you decide whether you should get the touring screen or not.  Keep us updated on your status bud! 👍😎

 
Let the farkling begin.  New seat, windshield, a top case, Givi rear rack (adds needed stiffness), Cox Radiator guard, Tankslapper.biz total vinyl film protection kit, front Fenda Extenda, handle bar risers, Canyon Cages, PIAA Slimline horns and auxiliary  lights.  Have fun.  We are good at helping you spend your money!  😃

 
Don't need help to do that.  Already have a list prepared.  Starting off light, Helibar risers, Front and rear cameras.   Already have a Givi case from my FZ-1, might leave it off for a bit.  Passenger back rest.  Canyon Cages no longer in production so I think some T-Rex cages are on the list.  Horns for sure.  I'm pretty short so sticking with the stock screen for now. 

 
Risers are definitely first.  Then custom seat and windshield ... in that order.   Enjoy the process.

 
So they FINALLY managed to get the bike assembled and delivered.  Quick rant, I went to the dealer knowing what I wanted.  I prolly overpaid but hey, whatever, they need to make a living and I want the industry to keep thriving so I basically handed them a sale.  No leg work on their end.  So they contact Yamaha and since they finally sold the last of their 2019's, they could place the order for a 2020.  Cool.  They order the bike, I put down a deposit.  Get a notification on a Thursday that the bike is in PA and should be arriving early next week!  To me, early next week is Monday or Tuesday.  Crickets.  I message them again, oh well it usually takes 5-10 days.  Um, what?  That's not what i was told.  Well here is the link to start the loan process yadda yadda.  Ok fine, do all that, finance guy rings me up, we have the title so you can come in, sign everything and then you're good to go.  Great.  I go in that Friday to sign and I'm told the bike arrived Thursday afternoon.  Sweet, I can pick it up right?  Oh no, it wont be ready till thursday as we only have 2 Yamaha techs and they're loaded since they've shortened their hours.  Roll my eyes, fine.  Managed to get a ton of yard work done that weekend at least.  Thursday rolls around, nothing.  It was raining so whatever.  Friday is clearing up, weekend is looking amazing....reach out again..hey, um I want to be on this thing this weekend, whats the deal?  Oh it's all set, i can have it gassed up and ready for this afternoon.  Really?  I gave you a no legwork sale, you have my money, and I still had to chase you for delivery?  ugh!!!  BUT, I now have it!  Road about 200 miles Saturday and spent Sunday washing, clay bar, polishing, and waxing to keep those nasty bugs from sticking.  Smoother (and cleaner) than a babies butt!

Here he is, I present Toothless:
