Yamaha FJR

Anyone ever rode one? I'm not a fan of their looks with all the bags and crap attached but when they are removed it looks pretty decent.

They can carry a lot of weight, I mean a lot of weight. You know what I'm talking about don't you Fleg. ;)

yeah, they have a much sporty look to them without the bags. With the bags they look like a sporty version of a GoldWing.

going to go look at one tonight. I know where there is a new 07 in town but the dealer hasn't marked it down very much yet. With 09's coming out next month I expect the price on it to get much better.
 
Just get another Triumph and STFU.


what is going to happen is you are going to get that pile of shit Yamaha, constantly compare it to the Sprint, decide the Sprint was better and you'll be offloading yet another bike in a few months.

Just remember, I've never sold a bike for a loss. Almost always break even except one time I actually profited from it.

I requested it moved to the proper forum. Why bitch and complain about donorcycle forum if not going to use it.

The FJR has more power than any model Triumph, and is a better built bike back to front. The only reason to regret buying one over a trumpet is if you just really like fixing shit or making excuses.

Lincoln's other poster.
My FIL is on his third one of these. First one had almost 50K on it so he traded for an 06, kicked himself off of the 06 and busted the engine. Now he has an 08 and says the "air management system" works wonders, the older models were very hot to ride I guess.
