been seeing in Texas lately in larger cities must be directed fom a national level

I agree Yammie will need to upgrade soon as the C14 is getting a lot of attention lately both in the mags and with the riding public. We know they have the ability to compete. Perhaps they consider the market/profit margins to small to invest R/D funds. I never could figure the one color paint...

Idaho SP web site indicates under 700 lb road ready with all gear including 2nd battery

Those of you that have used both I would appreciate your thoughts-I need an aux light to light the (left and right hand) shoulders on the two lane country roads I ride on. I live in the sticks with abundant wildlife. I am not a fast rider and rarely exceed the posted speed limit. Whats the best...

all Texas state troopers have detector detectors as do a lot of other states because of federal law which forbids all,(regardless of state) commerical (DOT) trucks and other DOT classified vehicles from having them-as stated earlier they are using federal highway grant money to purchase them

plugged several bike tires with the black sticky worm and never had a leak have run some over 6,000 miles (but I am a 70-75 mph rider and never ride at excessive speeds)--always use slime in ATV's but never in bikes

Well spoken different bikes are made for different purposes/riding styles I rode an 08 1200R Sportster,06 FJR and 02 R1150 BMW and liked the beemer the best for my style of riding-the FJR was a close second and the Harley was first choice for short trips. I liked the Harley for the reasons you...

80,000 on my 02 r1150 uses less than 1/2 quart of oil in 3,000 miles run mobile 1 syn in everything no issues or failures do all my own work

not sure how they did it but that motor is smooth as silk and the transmission is very quiet when shifting

my 02 R1150 oil head with 80,000 burns a quart every 6,000 miles which is considered very good as all oil heads use some oil no leaks though

had an 06 FJR and a 02 R1150 (6 speed) at the same time liked the beemer better and sold the FJR when they fix the buzzy motor and uneven throttle will buy another FJR. Power wise the FJR beat the beemer hands down but in a lot of other areas the beemer was a better bike for me. Mine has been...

another year on the beemer for me (waiting for the final drive to explode at any time 80,00 miles on it now :rolleyes: ) cant handle the buzzy motor and uneven throttle hoping the big change is in 2010

The bike is all the above-I would suspect the stronger one is the lesser chance of dropping the bike. I never dropped mine (FJR) however consider myself only average strength for my age group-come close many times but always very very careful when riding it. I have dropped my BMW 3 times-twice...

dealer in Corpus Christi didnt know it existed either argued with me and said I didnt what I was talking about I had to get him to call Yamaha to prove a point

not the way I was looking at it-my reply was directed to some kind of drop protection bars looking to cut the cost of a tip over because I need to keep my hard earned dollars in my pocket.

I been riding bikes for over forty years including a lot of big bikes and the FJR with a full tank of fuel and at low speeds is a handful probably the most top heavy bike I have ever ridden. That all goes away at speed though. The bike needs some type of tip over protection for walking speed...

Thank goodness for the mud and small foliage to absorb the impact and scrub off speed-best wishes on a speedy recovery

have had several heavy bikes that I wished I had reverse as I huffed and puffed trying to back out of some spot that a car blocked my pre planned forward movement when I stopped

its the buzz of the bike (at least for me) I had a Beemer.Harley and FJR at the same time and rode all three. The FJR was the only one that put my hand to sleep. I tried a lot of different things but never could get the problem to go completely away. BTW been riding bikes over 40 years so not a...

not the right bike for gravel,sand,dirt,mud unless you like self inflected torture because their will be plenty of that if you ride the FJR on that type of road surface. Rode mine a short distance on a sandy road and it was an absolute handfull and no fun at all.
