Got me a FJR1300 Yamaha

[paysaw]

I found a great 2004 Yamaha FJR1300. I have always wanted one.Great little bike.

I'm on a couple other touring sites and guys seem to like them quite a bit. I know guys on the iron butt thing like those and the BMW and Kawasaki similar models for racking up the miles. Hope you enjoy it.

I bought one 2 years ago and have enjoyed 20K miles on it since. It has been a fabulous performer in all ways since I have owned it. My FJR was my ride for a month long 8000 mile tour through the Rockies last June, and I loved every minute of it.

 

i hope you have many enjoyable miles on yours.

If it's at all like the 14 connie or St's I can't get comfortable on em, dang it. Not to mention my severe "right wrist twist" problems........

Cool, man cool.

My brother has a 2002, it's red. He loves his. He told me he has to be careful shifting into second. It has a tendency to raise the front wheel off the ground for some reason

And it would KEEP me in trouble!!! Good luck with it!!

How much did u get it for?? I like those as well

[paysaw]

What you learn about these bikes is they are reckless as the rider.They are just as controllable as a Venture.The only difference is they can get to places faster if and only if you ask it too.My speed demon days are gone.It is a very responsive bike.If you ride it responsibly it is an amazing motorcycle.The difference with a bike like this is that it is effortless to ride with no sense of fear. If you want a bike that can cruise all day long with lower revs, big power , quiet, big torque and effortlessly peg scrape you might look into one.

I couldn't leave the throttle alone. Something bad was bound to happen so I sold it. Just way to easy to twist that wrist.

OMG I'm stuck in a situation where I can get a 2010 with 24k for a great price. Problem is I can't have both the Midnight Venture and the FJR. Two things can happen, 1 I can sell the Midnight Venture or 2 someone can let me keep it at there house so the wife doesn't know I still have it LOL.

I'm sure most of us will keep it for you. Just leave the keys!

Has anyone out there done much touring with a passenger on the FJR? Just curious what your passenger thinks of it. I'm looking to replace my first gen, my lady friend likes riding it, I don't want to get something that would be less comfortable for her than my present ride.

[snyper316]

Umm I am not sure but women seem to like the plush seat of the Venture and the ride is so darned smooth that it makes me miss my Lincoln Town Car

Hey Paysaw,

Congrats on your "new to you" FJR! These are GREAT motorcycles! Fast,nimble, with storage! Who could ask for more. Just an FYI, our local Yamaha Dealer has NEW, leftover 2015 FJR's for $8900.00 with zero miles on them. If you are looking to purchase one, keep this price point in mind.

Congrats again Paysaw, I'm sure you will be happy with your new scoot.

It wouldn't take much to turn the 2016 FJR from a Sport Touring bike into a Touring Sport bike with two comfortable seats and real storage capacity, like a new version of the Gen 1. Remodel the oh so comfortable Venture Royale seat to fit behind the FJR tank, drop the exhaust pipes to parallel just before the mufflers then add on a version of the MkII saddlebags and trunk. There you have it, a full touring package with all the modern amenities for touring in comfort and style.

 

Too easy.
