Hi .Dave here..Bought a 2004 W/18000 miles about 6 weeks ago. Just something cheap to ride while I rebuild my Harley motor. So all the typical gen 1 inherent issues are present and I've got to say. And I knew this going in. FJR it's just a great bike. I re sprung the Front suspension, put a seat on there and swapped out the windshield I'm good to go. Harley will always be my go-to number one scooter but the FJR is a lot of fun.
First Jap bike in 25 years. Gen1

Congrats on the quickest of them all!
Congrats! And you won't ever need to rebuild the FJR motor!
Nice find on a '04 ABS bike. Several of those have done over 200k miles. I came close before I sold my '04 at 163k. One of my HD friends was really excited when his Dyna's new stroker motor went over 100Hp after a fresh build. Until I told him 20 more Hp and he'd be at what my FJR was stock, at the wheel. 
Yeah my motor costs more than I paid for the FJR. I'll get 105 HP. Its very different though. I'll always be a Harley guy, but I love my fjr.

Gotta love em all. I also have a Harley in the stable. sold both the street glide and road glide. went about a year and just had to have another roadglide. My 2020 FJR is my JOY. she is smooth and sexy. and when you get her excited she wants to fly. I have had just about every type of bike. even a BMW K1600 Nice bike but I would still hands down take The FJR welcome to a whole new experience. enjoy and ride safe.
That seat looks to be comfy as all get out. My ass is jealous.
Best wishes for safe travels.
