Looks like we have another FJR in the family

Well, we have a new FJR owner in my family. My oldest son Jordan, who some of you may have met or rode with at the Red Lodge Rendezvous in 2016, decided he wanted to add a more comfortable bike to his garage. He currently rides a Ninja 1000 which he's ridden to all the lower 48 states. Since he's partial to Kawasaki, he's been keeping his eyes open for a clean used Concours despite my attempts at steering him right.

A couple days ago he asked me what I thought of an 07 FJR AE for sale for $4800.00 on Craigslist with only 10,000 miles. I said it looked good but mentioned that I seen a 2014 FJR1300A with 11,000 miles that had just showed up for sale locally decked out with $1150.00 heated Sargent seats, Canyon cages, Highway pegs, three windshields, Helibar risers, and a SW Motech tank bag for $9600.00. He went and took a look at it last night and we picked it up today. August Father son big trip planning is underway!

Nice!

First thing on the list is to send the grey panels off to Gerald for red paint.

Ride safe,

Dave

Seems to me that the red side panels were available from Yamaha - from Europe maybe?

No idea of cost vs repainting if the new owner wants a match.

Nice looking bike!

Nice...but it's red

Real nice Kevin. If your trip is westward you are welcome to spend a evening here, plenty of great roads and scenery close by.

Congratulations!

Have fun with the father and son trip. If your trip brings you to CA, would be great to see you.

Cool, I someday hope to go places with my boy.

Nice find, congrats to Jordan!

Nice and congrats to him!! I hope to write a similar post down the road. Having two boys three FJRs are in play.

All he needs now is red-dyed hair! Congrats!

Very nice!Congratulations to him!

If you two are headed this way, let me know. Always looking for an excuse to miss work.

How cool is it that you have someone to ride with. Approved.

Went with my son on his first ride ever yesterday. He is 38 so I have been waiting for a while. Hopefully more to follow.

Congrats!

Good looking wheels and congrats!
