They do look nice....I haven't seen one in person yet but some of the flame jobs look really sharp! I have an '85 XJ700X that I plan to show this summer and thought it would be really cool to tow it with the Spyder....unfortunately, the combined weight far exceeded the Spyder's 'safe limit'...

Just thinking Tom, you set quite a chain of events in motion when you sent me that C/L link to the local Spyder last fall....eh? Whodda thunk it would all turn out like this! A big thanks to you Brother, ride often, ride safe, but most of all.....enjoy!! :yahoo:

Good guess Scotty! I had it jetted for a 36hp shot! :lol: I never spun the back tire but that additional torque would just gobble up the rears....they'd only last about 1K miles!! :o

That V Max could hold it's own but this one really was trouble! :lol: You're right about the Spyder requiring more work, no way it will go effortlessly around a hard turn like the FJR would....not even close! But it is fun and very comfortable. I put some highway footrests on for...

Resistance is futile Jon!! :lol: They're really a fun machine....pricey tho!! You can buy two nice used FJR's for the price of one nice used Spyder! :dribble:

Yeah, things moved pretty quickly there for awhile Tom, but in the end it all came together nicely. Just got an email from the new owner of F Jr and they made it home safely so it's feathers all around!! :yahoo: Put in around 75 miles on the Spyder today, the digital readout hung at 59,° I...

Man, those kids are 'cuter 'n speckled pups'!! If Mom would sell them for a Spyder she must really love the Spyder! :lol: Thanks! The sun just came out and it's s'posed to hit 50° today....gonna take that baby out and get it all muddy!! :yahoo: Oh, yesterday, after F Jr left, I did a...

The new owner of F Jr came to pick her up today and take her to her new home way down south. She's going to a good home with great people to care for her in the manner to which she has become accustomed. Not going to easily forget that bike, Yamaha really hit it with the FJR1300, it sure was a...

I think it's 'photo-shopped'! :rolleyes:

She's going 'back in the wind' where she belongs! Bike sold last night.

Bike is relisted on C/L and FleaBay for $5500 https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649&item=140674651050&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/2784515084.html https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/mcy/2761184453.html (this still...

Got so cold here one time the words froze as we were talking. Tried thawin' 'em out on the wood stove so we could hear each other, but the damn fire kept freezin' up too... :cold: I hate when that happens!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Sometimes the words fall in the fire and you never do find...

I just added three more photos and some additional bike information to post #1.

I did get the Spyder Matt and you're right, they're a lot of fun, pretty quick too! I put my FJR on eBay during the Christmas season just in case some guy's wife might say, "OK, hit the 'Buy It Now' button on that blue bike if you want it!" In reality that's probly not gonna happen and when...

Yes, I can wait Tom, my V Max sold right off so the wife's 'emergency fund' is replenished....just thought I'd put 'F Jr.' out there to see if I could get a lucky break, kind of a test run. If it doesn't sell I won't re-list it until late March or early April. Besides, in the back of my mind...
