I too have been asked if my FJR (blue) was a BMW. I think it's because they notice that sports-turing bikes have their own distictive size and shape, compaired other bikes. And BMW has been building STs longer than anyone else.
Here is a clasic from the moto dealer play book!! :angry2:
I waited till this year to do the recalls on my 06. I figured there should be plenty of parts by now. So around the last week of June I call for an appointment. They won't order parts untill I bring the bike in, even though I...
I hope to be there!! I attended one a couple of years ago. What a great day, and a great dealership!
I am going to World Supers in Salt Lake at the end of the month Though. :yahoo:
Count me in.
I hope these kids know what they are in for.
Iam from just up the road in Spokane. And believe me, after only a couple of hrs of riding in this area the bug splatter will be awsome! Any concerns about water will be secondary.
I have a 29 in. inseam and got a Corbin for my 06. The seat is very comfortable, and I can just about flat-foot it now. You will find the reach to the foot pegs is a little short, but it is worth it to gain the extra control at stops, parking and backing up.
I just wanted to add my great big THANK YOU to everyone involved in putting on TECHWEST 07! Dan and his crew at Desert Valley Powersports really went all out to make this a remarkable event. The FJR community in the Northwest is truly lucky to have such a supportive dealership in our area...
Bagless for me most of the time. A mag. tank bag is all I need for around town, and the twisty bits. I like the sportier look sans bags! BTW I have garnered a ticket in each configuration, so I don't place much faith in the bagtoten stelth concept.
johnB,
I went with the 2/Bros. M-5s because they are larger, and should look better on a bike the size of the FJR (I have seen the M-2s on an FJR and they seemed too small to my eye). Otherwise the performance should be about the same. 2/bros. claims about a 3.5 hp increase with a 10.5 lb...
Thanks for the heads-up Borrec.
I was bummed to find out that the exhaust group buy was cancelled before I could make up my mind and place an order. Then I saw your post, and decided to give them a try. You need to call and request a coupon code to get the best price, but it is worth it! I...
I came back from WFO-5 via hwy 95 through Hell's Canyon. I didn't have time to explore the area on that trip, but am shure you will find it worth the ride. I wouldn't mind a return trip my self. There is a lot of country out there I've yet to see. I might try to make it down there for the...
