Thoughts on FJR 1300

It's looking to be another stellar riding season... I've never owned a Yammer Hammer. The last modern motorcycle I had was a 95 BMW r1100rs. So this 2012 FJ will be all new to me. Come on warmer weather. 🌞

Congratulations! I have ridden the FJ many times. However, the one I rode was 26 years older than yours!

Good luck and enjoy it.

Thanks Vmass, The motorcycle is still in the guys garage in Dover Ohio, about 90 miles away from me. It's cold and snowy all this week in northern Ohio. I'm hoping to pick it up in a week or two. I really don't want to trailer it home. I figure if I bundle up, I can make the ride home. Heck if Jedz can ride in 30/40 degree weather, so can I. Haha
 
I have a friend that has one. He put almost 75,000 miles on it in a couple of years. The only complaint he had was a problem with the automatic transmission/shifter. I think it locked up on him in a couple of scary situations. Once at a busy intersection. It won't move once that happens. I'm not sure of the exact terminology for what went wrong, but he doesn't feel confident on it enough and he wants to sell it.
 
I'm hoping to bring my new motorcycle home tomorrow. Rain today, 70's tomorrow with a 30% chance of rain... I went to visit the machine yesterday. With the Bar Backs and Corbin Seat this motorcycle fits me like a glove. I tippy toe a little bit, but I've been a tippy toer my whole life so that's not a problem. 😀 Yesterday, the guy kept throwing things in the trunk. Factory Service Manual, Oil Filters, Touch up paint, a Tank Bag... A real nice fellow he is. 👍
 
There's a 15 FJR1300A near me with just a couple thousand miles on it. Comes with Sargent and top case as well guards. $10900.

I'm tempted, the wife wants me to get a bigger bike.

But you need to hit 400K on your FZ1

Yeah, I know the one you're talking about. This one I'm getting already has the modifications done to it. That was it's selling point for me. There's a new 2016 not to far from me, I thought about it at 12,500. It would have tapped me. I need $$ for vacation this summer.☺

Plus if I'm going to be running with Jedz this summer, I knew I had to step it up a notch! ��

Plus I can't wait to smoke some BMW's. haha

HAHAHA Norm you could bring a GS500F and keep up with me if I'm on the Harley.
I took the FZ6 into work and it is SOOOO Much faster than the Harley it's stupid. Ugh I have a bad feeling I'm going to get some buyers remorse this year.
 
God you guys, a friend of mine is trying to sell me his 2016 FJR, 11,000 miles on it and it is a beaut! $12,000 Yup, girl friend is wanting to get a bigger bike, my 750 is a touch small for us.

Not sure where you are, but there are quite a few new 0 mile 2016 FJRs on Cycletrader in that price range, if you can get it without setup and delivery. Don't remember if 16 or 17 was the first year for the 6 speed. 6th on my C14 is worthless below 80 though.

16 was the first year and his FJR is the A model, doesn't have all that fancy electric suspension stuff, Besides his is broken in and I like the Blue. My location is posted.
