My dealer promises, "Delivery in April. Probably." :-(

That was the story yesterday, 3/30/16. Then called this morning to say truck dropped off my FJR! But the bike assembly guy was off today. So delivery will be April 1!

Prophecy Fulfilled!

Ummm, that guy has a Star Motorcycles shirt on. Wanna bet you'll have ape hangers, floorboards, and a saddle instead of a seat?

Merry Christmas, El Toro Joe!

That guy is the only mechanic that I'd let near my bike...he has done all the work on my 06 since new, and also is it's new owner.

Yup, literally dropped off the truck.

Finally!

Happy days ahead!

Joe - I bet you are wound up tight as a drum, man!!

When I got my '14 last year, thankfully, there was no time to get excited. Those turkeys I call friends had everything all lined up for me before I even knew it.

 

[Warpdrv]

Finally Joe !!! Your going to love the upgrade !!!!

These new machines are so nice man....

I'll be picking it up tomorrow at noon.

I hope the '16 is better than you dreamed it could be. Congrats.

Picked up my 2016 ES this afternoon. Feels very different than my '08. Clutch is much lighter and engages much further out. BIG difference in gearbox feel. Smooth, not clunky. If it feels this good brand new it should really something once it breaks in. New instruments will take some getting used to.

Joe, that is great news man, I'm so happy for you!
I guess I need to save up my likes, for when you start posting photos of you and the bike. :grin:

Congratulations. It won't take you long. The tiny numbers on the tach and speedo of the Gen2 have been a source of minor irritation for Pop from day one. When he jumped off his '07 and rode my '15 that was one of the first things he noticed. "I can see how fast I'm going!" he told me.

There are so many minor improvements along with the major improvements that I sometimes find it difficult to remember how great the early FJRs really were. I envy those of you getting the '16.

Huge congrats ETJ! First ride on the ES and it'll all be worth the wait.

Enjoy the new scoot. )))

Tough to break in a new ride amongst all that congestion, huh?
