New 2013 FJR1300 Owner

[David Foley]

Hi All,

I will have my 2013 FJR delivered to the house in about an hour. Lot's of research went into this purchase. It seems I read every review on every sport touring bike in existence. BMW, Triumph, Honda, Kawasaki and finally Yamaha. After seeing the FJR at the Fall motorcycle show in Dallas it got my attention and rose to the top very quickly. This forum was invaluable in helping me make my final decision. Thanks!

Congratulations, post some pics of your new FJR.

No decision remorse there. You made a wise choice that you will continue to affirm as the miles pile up.

Congrats! If you can't have the best bike every made - the Gen I FJR, than getting the 2nd best bike every made, the super-duper POS Gen III FJR isn't a bad condolence prize!

Welcome to the nuthouse.......

I'm Jealous. I live in Canada. My new Gen III is still at least a month away due to snow on the ground. I need to relocate.

Excellent purchase. Make sure you try out the new centerstand.

Yes! Another FJR rider in the Dallas area! Feel like an outsider riding something not big, black and full of chrome. Now I know there's one more out there!

Congrats David. I'm thinking about upgrading from my 2010 to a new 2013 myself.

Congratulations"

I guess I'll have the one to ask: "delivered" to your home? How did that happen?

No matter how they get there, it's good. But I vividly remember the "ride home" on every motorcycle I've owned.

Hope you're having a great first weekend together!

Had it delivered to my home, as this is my first bike and I didn't have my M license. Have since completed the MSF course and obtained my license. Now I am clear to ride the parking lot of my choice for the next few weeks.

Congratulations David Foley, you will love your FJR and the 2013 model is the best Yamaha has ever produced!

Congratulations getting an awesome Gen III. Don't shoot your eye out with that thing You have quite the bike for a first ride, others have done OK with this as a learner but never loose focus. If your toys can't kill you they aren't worth having.

Thanks ionbeam - I am committed to doing this this the right way - patient and methodical.
