Yes!

[afterburn]

Today I did it! Went for a testride on a FJR, and bought it. It's a 2003 FJR1300A in Galaxy Blue. It's done 30k miles and runs and looks like new. I am picking her up Saturday.

I know, it's a bad pic, but this is the dealer pic since I obviously haven't made one myself yet.

Congrats, Afterburn!

The link to your image appears to be broken....

 

[afterburn]

Thanks, corrected that. Can't wait to put some serious miles on her.

 

[FJRMGM]

that would be a 2005 Galaxy Blue FJR.

Anyway, welcome to Da Club and enjoy that Bad Boy.

Ride On.

No, that's a European model, not a North American model.

European models have the YAMAHA decal on the silver side panel....

 

[slapnpop]

Those look like american decals to me. My dealer had applied them to the tail underneath the luggage racks and trunk brackets. :blink:

The Euros have white Yamaha lettering across the tank in '03, no?

as such:

And the EU years are a year earlier than the US ones (2003 EU == 2004 US) so that's why it had the integrated front signals (and presumably larger brake rotors, etc).

 

[throttlejockeyTJ]

Humm I was going to say Blue 03 with ABS? Glad that was straitened out.

Congraduations! Welcome, & Ride Safe. TJ

 

[afterburn]

Sorry for all the confusion, but yep, this is a Euro spec 2003 model.

 

[FJRMGM]

the integrated front signals are what threw me off.

BUT ANYWAY, glad you got it and it looks sharp..

[afterburn]

Thanks, I can't wait to pick it up Sat.

 

[spine60]

Well, what is the going price of a 2003 with 30,000 miles, dear I ask??

 

[user 357]

Happy trails to you............

Did you get any kind of maint info that was done on the bike......

 

[BlueWing]

Welcome Afterburn, there seems to be a growing contingent from the Netherlands.

 

[OrangevaleFJR]

Congratulations! I now have 1800 miles on my FJR and I hope you enjoy your first 1800 miles as much as I have enjoyed mine!

Let us know how you think the 30k miles has affected the bike. It would be interesting to hear what wears out first.

 

[isisonaride]

Congratulations! You are going to love this bike!

 

[afterburn]

Spine: don't choke, but I paid €11k for it. That's like new for US standards, but cheap for a 2 yr old w/ ABS here in Holland.

Twowheeler: yes, the bike was bought, maintained and sold by the shop I bought it from. Got to see the full maintenance history.

Orange: I now did 1000miles and loving it. The bike is absolutely perfect, and nothing is wrong. I will need to replace tires and brakepads soon, but that is normal regular maintenance.

Blue: Dutch is good.

isisonaride: I know, I already do!
