If you were going to buy a used FJR, based on what you know now what generation would you purchase and why?

Ding, Ding, Ding and Dong! We have ourselves a Winner, FJRay is right: All of the years of FJR are great!
But, the really good looking and cool guys like FJRay and Papa Chuy ride the 2003 model; the fastest one!

You blew it by showing that mug as an example of "really good looking and cool guys..."...the really good looking and cool guys like FJRay and Papa Chuy ride the 2003 model; the fastest one!
Now, if you had shown pics of RadioHowie or Patriot, your argument may have won the day.

If you have a lot of electrical gadgets that need power like heated gear, aux lights, gps, ipod, phone, microwave, blender, vibrator, electric massage,...then definitely get the 2006 and later models as they have a larger generating capacity. However, do expect to have a higher number of recalls associated with those.
If all you want is horsepower and good looks, then you want the 2005 and earlier...2004 pictured below.
BTW, I am smiling because of my good fortune in owning an 04...the best year.
All of them are good...except the few with French detuned engines that made it to the states. Avoid those at all cost!
Nice NEPRT thread you've got here newbie. Welcome aboard.

Has anyone noticed there are two pictures of Gen 1 owners and 100% of those owners look like douche bags? Reason enough right there to not buy a Gen1.

Yeah, yer right Zilla.
We should let the photos tell the story...now where is that picture of the Gen 2 owner State Trooper screwing a toy sheep doll?? I think it's around here somewhere....

jimmydteach, Pay very close and careful heed to what Brother Mark has to say! Gen 2 Owners are all natural born degenerates and totally debased! Do you really want to associate with "this one"!

In California we make the Gen II and BMW rider park out of the way on the end of the line. MadMike2 was out of order however.

jimmydteach, Iggy is right and this is very important to pay attention to. Send a Private Message to ShinyPartsUp ASAP and he will e-mail you back a list of Serial Numbers for those French detuned engines; and a descriptive pamphlet on FJR's and Rotella T-6 oil!All of them are good...except the few with French detuned engines that made it to the states. Avoid those at all cost!

The "Best" FJR?
That would be the very rare, very valuable and VERY collectible 2003/4-version 2.
That's a 2004-ABS (best color) with a 2003 motor (best motor) in it.
IF you can find one (they are VERY, VERY rare), it would look just like this:
ps: Photographic proof that all Gen I owners do NOT look like douche bags.....
Best wishes,
