    FJR Parts from my 2008 for sale - Vstream, clearbra, silver stripe kit

    Everything has been sold gang... If you don't have a tracking number, you didn't answer emails and didn't send paypal. It's been nice, and it's been real, but I no longer have an FJR, and therefore, I'm outta here! Good luck, safe travels and godspeed! Mike

    2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000

    That's it in a nutshell... I've ridden both side by side and the C14 didn't feel any heavier than the FJR. It actually carries its weight lower, to me. Both are WAY heavier than the N1K and both are WAY longer than the N1K. That mattered to ME, which is why I bought the Ninja and unloaded the...

    CheesyRider, I also got sticker shock on it. Progressive/flo wanted $1000 more than I was paying for the FJR. I told them to pound sand. I'm now paying about $200 more per year on this bike with the same coverage through Allstate. The problem is in the name... Price insurance for the Z1000...

    Gary, It's a whole lot like the FZ1. It reminded me a lot of the ZRX1100 ergos from the 99 model I sold to get into the FJR. As I said above, not knocking the FJR. Like it a lot. Just didn't LOVE it. Happy motoring...

    2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000

    Some initial riding impressions... Looking at the bike, you think "It's a sportbike, bleh" and that's exactly what I did when I first saw it in the show room. However, Fit and finish are amazing and the bike looks every bit as good in person as it does in the pics. The exhaust, although abit...

    2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000

    I started this thread because several members asked for me to post my opinions of the new bike in the forsale thread I had going for the FJR... Some pics of the bike: The SW Motec Blaze system and Oxford HeaterZ grips came in... SW MOTEC System: Mount that the rod clips into...

    2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000

    Traded the FJR on a new 2011 ninjas 1000. Before you roll your eyes, give it another 30 seconds read. The newest of ninjas isn't a back breaking proposition to riding sporty. It has upright ergos and knee-friendly foot controls. It also comes with very attractive hardbags!! Since buying...

    Wish I could edit it. And that is what I would expect them to ask for this bike. It has less than 12k miles on it and lt has lots of options. Mike
