[QUOTE="WestTexasRanger, post: 1322096, member: 88594"] That ain't going to happen. Last year I bought a 2013 with 3,000 miles for $9,000.00. I wasn't able to ride it much because of a rotator-cuff problem, so I sold it. I've found a dealer who has (2) left over 2014 FJR1300 A models for $9,995.00 plus a $199.00 DOC fee. No add-ons for freight & prep. They simply want them GONE. The bikes are located in another state, so I wouldn't pay taxes until I got home. [I]Which Dealership, you may ask? [/I] I'm not saying. [I]Why am I not saying?[/I] Yesterday, I lost the 2008 model I was considering (and the purpose of this thread). I made arrangements to meet the Seller early this morning. (Remember, he's 3 hours away). Last night, a guy contacted the seller and bought it. He told the Buyer that he read about it on the FJR Forum (my thread), started searching various sites that sell motorcycles and found the only 2008 FJR located within 3 hours of my home base.Pretty good detective work if you ask me. I'm a little bent out of shape, but can't really blame the Seller for making the sale, even though I'd been communicating with him over a 4 day period and Saturday (yesterday) was going to be the best day for us to get together. Based on this experience, I'm not going to show my cards on those 2014's until I've either secured one for myself or purchased a used one. [/QUOTE]
