The MSRP and apparently weight TBA. Hopefully 400 lb. wet and if the MSRP is in line with the MT 07 and 09 affordability...done deal.

It had better be near perfect after sending one all over the world to be ridden by notable riders this year. I believe it is in the last stage in Europe and all the feedback they're getting better be worth it! I love riding my modded and farkled DR650 so much that my FJR has seen only 1000...

I enjoy my DR650 so much the FJR gets little love these days! You are on the DRRiders forum right?

Holy moly! I remember a couple of high sides Lorenzo had a few years back that launched him to the moon but not at that speed! Glad he's basically OK!

One million likes to your post! God bless your uncle! The last of the greatest generation! Awesome! One of my dad's uncles was a tent mate of Joe Rosenthal (Iwo Jima flag raising photographer) for a while. His uncle had a scrap book of many of Joe's pictures but my dad never knew what happened...

I believe it was Motorcycle.com that gave it their highest ever total score for a bike tested. Can't afford it but would love to ride it!

My thoughts as well. The new format came along with my renewal notice...No thank you after about 15 years of subscribing!

Computrack Boston did mine at 14K and did only two bushings and now near 50 K the fork still works/feels perfect. He used to maintain my track bike suspension as well when I used to race.

Sweet Auburn FJR! With the Vario-Lenkerverlegung adapters and the myriad of Fat Bars available, everyone should be able to find the perfect fit! Now that I'm back to riding my DR650 almost exclusively with the warmer weather I can take all summer to convert over. Thanks for the project!

So the ambulance is taking him back to the 'farm' right? I hope?

OK, quit working so much and get wrenching! Since this handle bar mod is probably the last thing for me to do to potentially make the ergo's 'perfect', I guess I'm over anxious to see the end result!
