Wayne, I really like the Middlesboro, KY area. Decent town, several good motels, and fantastic riding; I just got back from a 1000 mile trip in eastern KY. I'll even help plan the routes. :)

Like the Black and Whites! San Diego County Sheriff? I'm coming out there Nov 4-7. Maybe I will spot one of these.

Ya, I wanted to keep both... Finances wouldn't allow it. Dang house remodeling! I am thinking that I would look at that new FZ-09 in a few years. Get a good used one maybe for $4-5K.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the power to weight ratio; the throttle is still authoritative on the S10. But on the FJR, WOT is like "I'm flying a F-16"! Takes a minute to adjust.

I traded my 2005 FJR and and 2011 KLR for a 2012 Super Tenere. After 1,200 miles of twisties and gravel over the last week, I'll have to say I'm very happy with my choice. Things I like right away: 1. More comfortable by far (for me, YMMV). 2. Go anywhere. Yep, I don't care whether it's...

After 1,000 miles on 190/55 PR3s, I agree with SLK50's analysis. Definitely cleaner on first turn-in, better in-corner stability, and bonus lack of peg-dragging two-up. Very happy I moved to the 190/55. I've been thinking about this a lot, and I wonder if it isn't so much the shape or size...

Agree with the consensus. Keep it FJR. If a person wants to ride with a wider audience, join the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association ( https://www.ridemsta.com ). I go the MSTA annual get together (S.T.A.R.) as often as a can and there is a wide mix of motorcycles there.

Roger, sorry you missed the broadcast dude, but it was like everywhere. I see you are in TN. You should check out https://www.nashvilleriders.com. They have a lot of news on that site. Unfortunately, I'm not able to donate to your New FJR Fund at this time due to the fact that my own FJR...

I'm sure that all ya'll are just waiting with bated breath and goggled eyes to hear how things are looking/feeling after 1,000 miles on the new 190/55 Pilot Road 3. To make a long I have to say I'm pretty dayum happy with the change. About 850 miles of this 1,000 miles was two up on some...

I find it interesting that Mama Yama was able to raise the stakes in what I call the "affordable Sport-Tourer" segment without changing the platform. Which to me validates the fundamental "goodness" of the FJR design. Frankly, we should give Mama Yama kudos for getting it mostly right the...

Pretty easy choice now!

Honda hasn't been competitive in Europe for 10 years, and certainly less and less in the Americas too. Perhaps the numbers tell the story - in 2012 Honda sales in Asia (in unit terms) are approximately 44 times what they are in North America and the vast majority of those sales are 500 CC or...

In 2009 a friend of mine who is a die-hard Honda ST guy, having both an 1100 and a 1300, made the mistake of "letting" me ride his ST, which meant he had to ride my "POS Yamaha" (his words). We rode from Cleveland, TN down to Suches, GA across US 64 and GA 60. When he stepped off the bike at...

Well frack a duck! I've been saving for a new RED bike and this here's the one! Now how am I supposed to wait two more years to save enough $$$ for it?

SkooterG just likes to stir sh*t up.
