    Wow, don't see Iron Range very often ... I grew up in Mt. Iron and got my first motorcycle in Virginia when I was 16!

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    I had BMW K1200LT (relevant during the initial time of this conversation) and a R1200RT. I got rid of both of them because they needed $3000 - 5000 worth of work when they were worth less than that. I had a Honda Goldwing that I sold at 125,000 miles with no work needed. That's the level of...

    New to the forum and to Fjr

    Welcome from just over the hill in Nashville! I have a 2016 ES with Heli Bar risers - and just got the tallest V-Stream windshield. I'm 6'0 with 32 " inseam, and it makes a world of difference. In the highest position the air would hit me at about nose level, and looking through the windshield I...

    Greetings from Cumming GA

    I took a little trip today to Mississippi, just south of Memphis. Definitely looking forward to getting a taller windshield so I don't have wind roar while riding and ringing ears for hours after riding!

    Seeking advice on first FJR

    Which 'taller windscreen' do you have? I've been looking at options, and want to pick the "right" one! My R1200RT had a tall enough shield that moved to the top in a storm would put most of the wet over the top of the helmet. The standard shield on the FJR has the wind hitting the middle of the...

    Seeking advice on first FJR

    A lot of people talk about the FJR as being 'heavy' but I don't see it. I had a '87 GoldWing in the 90's, in the 80's an 82 Yamaha XS-1100 Midnight Special full dress, I had an old Yamaha Venture, '03 Victory Touring Cruiser, BMW K1200LT, and BMW R1200RT, among other cycles. In comparison my...

    New Bike Choice

    My last two cycles were BMW. If I ever have a BMW again in this lifetime it will be too soon. Both of them ended up with needed repairs that cost more than the cycles were worth. The 2005 K1200LT had the seal go out between the engine and tranny and it was going to cost $3-4000 to fix it...
