That is one sweet looking ride! :yahoo: Very clean.

Bummer you're selling the best year Feej made.

Good luck.

Thanks Bluesman! I'm really going to miss it....had a lot of bikes over the years but nothing even close to this FJR.

Not real thrilled about putting my '05 on FleaBay, what with all the scammers and crooks out there....but anyhow, here it is.

Very nice clean bike Dan, but if you can afford to way a couple months, it will do much better price-wise. I bought my bike last year on December 1 from a seller in Nevada that was frustrated with no buyer action in the winter. By early spring, selling prices on comparable bikes were up $800 to $1000. That's nearly 20% return for waiting until March. Anyway, good luck with the sale, and congrats on the CanAm.

Yes, I can wait Tom, my V Max sold right off so the wife's 'emergency fund' is replenished....just thought I'd put 'F Jr.' out there to see if I could get a lucky break, kind of a test run. If it doesn't sell I won't re-list it until late March or early April.

Besides, in the back of my mind, I'm holding out for a miracle that my knees get all better again and then I'll have the Spyder AND F Jr!! It could happen....right?

Very nice bike...good luck with the sale

Thanks Joe!

I saw you talking about your back and the reason to move onto a Spyder. If you end up that route I think you'll be perfectly happy, those things look like a hoot even if they are different from a 2 wheeler. Good luck with sale the bike looks perfect and well setup. Spring time you might get 6500 for it, advertise on multiple craigslists around your area too, people travel for a good bike.

I did get the Spyder Matt and you're right, they're a lot of fun, pretty quick too!

I put my FJR on eBay during the Christmas season just in case some guy's wife might say, "OK, hit the 'Buy It Now' button on that blue bike if you want it!" In reality that's probly not gonna happen and when the ad expires in a couple days I'll throw a sheet over her and wait for spring and do what you mentioned....make more $'s that way anyhow, probly.

people travel for a good bike.

+1 Waiting for a killer deal on a 05 myself as the miles add up on my current bike.

But the CL search all rocks!
