@motorgod... ...Really? So your "shut the fuck up" statement is an invitation to open a debate? :clap: ...or, are you just one of those "Sea Gull Posters" who fly in, flap your wings, shit all over the place, then leave? Eh? :eh: Either way, lets have a discussion. Please start with...

Considering her height, what about a Yamaha Virago 250 or older 535? Much more managable bikes than an SV. I definitely agree that an SV is a popular bike among more novice riders with one or two bikes already under their belt.

SW is big-time best including SE Minnesota. However, if you are going to be up there for that long, you should ride into the Upper Pennisula of Michigan and northern WI as well. The best curvy, twisty roads are in the La Crosse and Eau Claire area. There are several folks on this site who...

Autocom Active-7-Smart. Installed in my tank bag with all electronics wired and only BMW style plug that plugs into my powerlet. I have rider/passenger, bike to bike, 8500x50, and XM radio wired in. Easy to simply unplug the power connection and take the tank bag with my $1000+ worth of...

good side point g8eyes... Could there discrimination liability to a dealer that refuses to sell a bike to a protected class? Unless there is some civil case law out there, but a dealer could find themselves in a liability catch 22. Don't sell a bike ==> Discrimination Do sell a bike...

Called Magnum Blasters...and they work great to prevent such "I didn't see him's!" Had a few close calls myself lately and all prevented with a loud sounding of the Blasters. Man, those really wake up the stupid.

Doesn't look any different then any other Wing...just huge! Too fricken huge!

$269 for just the front or back with no heat...that's $640 total. $399 for each with heat...that's $800 total. :o You've gotta be kidding me. Inflation, or what. That is in the price of a Russell Day Long, which is a real custom seat. No fricken way! Plus it looks like the discontinued...

Cobalt Blue for this blue makes no sense. :dntknw: Yamaha racing colors are cobalt blue and white. It is a medium to light, but fairly bright blue. This 2006 FJR blue is not cobalt blue. This is a mistake. This is Cobalt Blue. Most of the sport apparel line is blue...cobalt blue. Has...

that's hilarious... :haha:

Doesn't explain the FZ1 being pulled too and the other models not. There are many, many bikes still on showroom floors. Yeah, there are a few FJR's (I highly doubt 1000 :P ) , but there are also others. I think it is industrial sabatoge by Honda and BMW. Yeah, they've gotta be involved.

I guy who started riding a few years ago started on a Suzuki 650 Savage. At first, he would not lean in a turn. Too strange and too different from driving a car. One of his first rides he did not lean in a slow speed turn and could not make the turn without leaning. He panicked and hit the...

I got really lost down in Arkansas one weekend. Ended up on a logging trail for about 70 miles. Literally slid down a very steep hill that I decided I was not going to try to climb on the FJR. Came to a creek, yes running water and decided I would rather dross the creek than go back up the...

I noticed that myself. Tried to pull some more info on the 2006 FJR and FZ1 and...wammo...not there. Donno watsup... :dntknw:

Sounds good XLR8. Honestly, that was the post I was hoping to get. On my side of the fence, the number of fucktards that come into the dealership is amazing. Good to hear you are not one of them. Good to hear the positive tone in your post. One last thing, I went off on you based on your...
