Some of you guys are so dumb. I never said that the bike was a POS. Stop acting like somebody said that you had a tiny pee pee.
Stop! You are a idiot.Some of you guys are so dumb. I never said that the bike was a POS. Stop acting like somebody said that you had a tiny pee pee.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzha ha ha ha - you said pee pee!!!!!Some of you guys are so dumb. I never said that the bike was a POS. Stop acting like somebody said that you had a tiny pee pee.
I fear that everyone has held back a little here. Good thing I'm in a mood, because my advice is to go **** yourself.I have followed this forum for a couple of months now. I am amazed at how nonchalant FJR owners are about buying a bike that costs $12-13K and needs to be torn apart after a few hundred miles to balance throttles, disconnect throttle return springs, and make Barbarian mods that mean cutting wires and altering connectors. It takes a couple of thousand miles to shift smoothly and reliably. What gives? It's as if any price is not too high to pay for 150hp or "all of that torque". Kick stand needs to be watched very carefully so that you don't drop the bike? No problem. As long as excellent wrenching skills can fix the problem it's all good. One year warranty? What's with that?
You can tell the Goldwing riders in the group. They think that this stuff should not be. You guys cut Yammy way too much slack.
You're not actually going to try this, are you?Some of you guys are so dumb. I never said that the bike was a POS. Stop acting like somebody said that you had a tiny pee pee.
+1...I too was taken aback the first minute I saw this bike. The three year statement was a uh hum, a coverup to say I was saving my pennies for three years to buy the most honerable FJR. It was love at first sight. PM. <><No investigation by me...I myself investigated this bike for 3 years but never rode one and decided this was the bike for me and I have not regretted one minute of it.
Went to my dealer to get some parts for my Bandit and I saw the bike on the showroom floor. Made a deal, gave them my old bike and rode to my wife's office to get her signature on the loan papers!
That was 10,000 miles ago... and while I've made some modifications, none of them were because of defects!
Hey, listen, it's not a fawkin Goldwing allrght.
Gene, go back and read your original post on this thread. Now, do you really thing we are so "dumb" that given your words we are making a wrong assumption that you are implying that it is a POS? I may not be the smartest person in the world, but I can read that post and feel pretty confident that you were trying to stir some shit by making us think you think it's a piece of shit. Now you come back and insult us for a second time on the same thread (as a Gold Wing owner, you have actually insulted me a third time).Some of you guys are so dumb. I never said that the bike was a POS. Stop acting like somebody said that you had a tiny pee pee.
It also looks like he likes to stir things up...I finally got to test ride an '06A today. I am a Goldwing rider. I must say that in many ways it made the Wing feel like riding an 18 wheeler. The shifting was smooth and quiet. The handling was smooth and "user friendly". It just sailed through curves. The biggest negative that I noticed was the helmet noise even with the shield all of the way up. It really gave me an appreciation of the still air pocket behind the Cee Bailey on my Wing. Now I have to decide to buy or not to buy.
Is he a Troll or just hard to please?Great. Another member who thinks profanity is cute. Hey moderators why don't you enforce a little civility on this board.
+1 V65.You can't look at the bike without the owners. The kind of people that buy an FJR are different than those that buy a Goldwing. Many forum members (not me) have track experience, others coming from other fast bikes such as the blackbird. I would guess that the average profile of an FJR owner is someone that is more aggressive and more likely to mod their bike. There isn't a bike made that they wouldn't mod.
As for the maintenance, as has already been pointed it this is a high performance machine, they do require more maintenance. If you don't want to do the maintenance don't. Its a Japanese bike, probably will run a long time without so much as an oil change.

iirc what was said was that you had dickus minisculous. when you put down your sippy cup, you'll learn an adult term for dick.Some of you guys are so dumb. I never said that the bike was a POS. Stop acting like somebody said that you had a tiny pee pee.
It would also appear that were he to actually get a Feej, a windshield would be first on his shoppi...wait, could it be.........?It also looks like he likes to stir things up...I finally got to test ride an '06A today.

05 ABS here. over 22K miles thus far. After reading the FJR forums (yes there are others) for several years now, I thought the same thing for a while. Then it slowly (yes sometimes I'm slow!) came to me:I have followed this forum for a couple of months now.
