Bike sold pretty fast locally. You folks all take care.

2015 FJR 1300ES for sale. The bike has been covered in a garage since new. It has 11,186 miles with new Michelin Pilot 5, fresh oil change, and Canyon Cage crash bars up front. I also have the rear Canyon Cage but didn't like the look, so they are not on at the moment. The Yamaha cover goes with...

Lol. I live in Wyoming, so I ride mainly in ruralWyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana, and Nebraska. I've never used my horn except for the time I accidentally bumped the button and it startled me.

Welcome to the forums from Laramie, Wyoming. Btw, I was born in St. Johns.

I see these speeds all the time, but I live in Wyoming with an 80mph speed limit on most of our interstates; the troopers hardly look up at 85mph. I've never noticed a buzz though; but then again, I've come up through the ranks of 70s, 80s, and 90s bikes, so maybe my nerve endings are shot...

Yup...even after owning mine for a little over three years, the FJR continues to amaze me. It's an incredibly competent motorcycle that impresses me every time I ride it...besides, I was born "in a hurry," and the FJR "hurries" well.

I'm a bicycle tourer who has ridden across Canada, US, UK, Spain, and France on a hard Brooks leather saddle (80-100 miles a day), so I have no complaints with the stock FJR saddle. I'm also an Iron Butt guy who is on #18 motorcycle in my MC family tree, and of the 18 bikes I've owned, I've...

No issues on my 2015. I love the versatility of the ES.

Most of our interstates here in Wyoming have 80mph speed limits, so run my cruise at 85 most of the time. Btw, I love love love the cruise control option. Most of the speeding tickets I have gotten in the past happened because I was accidentally speeding...I haven't been pulled over since I've...

Thanks to the OP for posting this. I found this thread on a search about riding while on blood thinners. I had a "cardiac event" a year and a half ago that required a stent, so I'll probably be on Plavix for life. I actually didn't think about the non clotting issue until a local rider was...

After a string of Beemers (with a KTM thrown in), I too drank the Kool Aide...what a competent motorcycle.

Congrats! I love love love my 2015. I love it even more now that I the snow is gone and my seat rebuild from Rich's Custom Seats is installed. I did a 300 mile loop through the Black Hills last weekend with no stops. Finally my butt has the same range as my tank! Enjoy.

Congrats on an awesome bike; we've had an unusually warm spring here in NE Wyoming, so I just got home from a nice ride on my 2015 ES. It hit 70 degrees here in northeast Wyoming today!

I've used Keyboard as well, and they were awesome.

Lol...I especially love vaporizing Harley trains (very prevalent here in the HD holy land of Sturgis, Devil's Tower, and the Black Hills). Fergawdssake, I can only take 55 in a 65 for so long, and I know that I sometimes startle them when I'm in strafe mode. It's all good.
