[QUOTE="roger dodger, post: 1436910, member: 18173"] For a 'First model' the 2003 (2002 in EU) was a marvel of engineering! Lightest and fastest (and prettiest) of all FJRs due to higher gearing and less weight. Very few 'tickers' otherwise NO issues. The 2006 was a Gen2 'First model' and many of the 'improvements' needed improvement. Throttle was jerky, Jbox recall, ABS added ...therefore heavier and slower but still works better than 90% of other bikes out there. I also own the 2013 Gen 3 'First model' and it's got everything improved (but the 6th gear) and everything works! Still heavier and maybe slower but new gearing and ride modes with heated grips and CC make me forget about everything but FUN!!! [/QUOTE]
