I'm so glad you are enjoying the bike. Seeing those pictures gives me a little sellers remorse. Good Luck and Thank You for a smooth, professional transaction.

SOLD.................... Even though I have sold my FJR, I will always appreciate this Forum for the inspiration and knowledge you have shared with me. THANK YOU.

Thanks man, I'm gonna miss hearing about your casual 2500 mile weekends......... I only have 400 miles on that back tire you installed and I still have the new PR2 front that's never been mounted.

As much as I hate to do this, I am selling my 2006 Yamaha FJR AE with only 16,017 miles. I am the second owner; I bought the bike in March of ’08 with 2200 miles. I have meticulously maintained the bike and a Yamaha Master Technician (un4gvn on this Forum, he's the best) has done all service...

Great Post... I was in Knoxville on Monday as part of a 3 day trip on the FJR and I can confirm all the extraordinary roads in this magnificent region of our country. Ya'll have a great time.....................

Just curious, what would make the "A" better in turns ? Well you would have to ride an AE to really experience it. An AE will disengage the clutch when decelerating and it can be a little abrupt when it reengages it when you get back on the throttle while exiting a turn. And because the...

Just curious, what would make the "A" better in turns ?

You guys are echoed and confirming what I have been thinking as I'm planning this trip. It's not a race. It's four days with no timetable and no wives or any of the women that work for me and are always bitching. Trimmantom; I am actually booked into Little Switzerland on Friday. So, I may be...

I am in the early planning stages of a four-day trip in Mid September. Day One, Friday, will be a leisurely 250 miles from Atlanta to Asheville, NC. Day Two, Saturday, I was planning to do the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive for a total of 487 miles. MapSource is quoting over 12 hours. Is...

Congrats................ I see you are in Cumming. You are lucky to be so close to our great North Georgia Mountains. I live in the Vinings/Smyrna area and have to drive an hour and a half just to get to your twisties. I picked up an '06 AE with only 2600 miles in March of this year and have...

I live about 60 miles from the North Ga mountains, so my first hour and a half is heavy Atlanta traffic before I hit the twisties. I attach my Airhawk only using the front ties and then when I start running the mountains I just lift the Hawk up over the tank and I am back on the seat where I can...

When I first bought my bike in March of this year, I also wondered why Yamaha hadn’t given this machine a 6th gear. I was at 3500 to 4000 RPM’s at highway speed and it felt like it was going to blow up. Now that I have time and miles on her (500 miles this past Sunday), I regularly run it up to...

I have a BMW M3 Cabriolet with the SMG transmission. I have two paddles located on my steering wheel that I use to upshift and downshift, just like Formula One. There is a clutch, just no heavy clutch pedal; I can control my RPM’s and shifts without ever having to take my hands off the wheel...

I started this Thread a few months ago with the exact same problem; My FJR is Killing Me I learned a lot from that thread and have made several changes to my riding habits and I can now do 400 to 500 miles a day with only slight discomfort. These are the changes that helped me the most. 1...

No Problem....... I thought it was funny and completely unintentional. But now you understand why I look for advise from this Forum and books to help me make this transition, I rode early in life, took 20 years off to raise kids and the Burgman was my introduction back to two-wheels. However...

Hey, That's me!!!!!! That's why I started this thread to ask for advise and not give it. (BTW, my last bike was a Burgman, Big Learning Curve !! ) Thanks again for all your great responses and lets get away from "my dick is bigger than your dick" and " I'm faster than you" bullsh*t. Most of...

Thank you all so much for your responses and advise. I hope everyone has enjoyed reading this thread as much as I have. I just got back from a wet, wet trip to Tennessee with two friends who ride HD Street Glides, but we just sat in the MotorCoach drinking with the wives (of course, they...

Good luck with your search, it will be worth it. There are some great deals out there right now. Have Cash or Financing ready and be willing to walk away if the Owner won't cooperate. Another bike is right around the corner. I signed up for the Alerts on E-Bay, checked this Forum regularly...

Maybe “hang off’ was a bad choice of words. I am interested in developing more control, fun and confidence through turns with “body steering” and learning how much weight distribution is needed to affect this particular bike during cornering. I’m 50ish, so it’s not about excessive speed and...

I’m a relative Noobie to this magnificent machine. I have about 1500 miles on my ‘06 AE mostly in the North Georgia Mountains where we have some great Twisties and then a few trips to the “Tail of the Dragon” in Tennessee. See Avatar. As I discover and appreciate the nuances of this bike from...
