Good day! My name is Rob and I just got my first FJR. A beautiful 2013 model with 16k on it. Put some new tires on and took my first real ride. Love it! I'm in north Georgia and love riding the roads up here. Got a few others in the stable as well. 2003 Harley Road King, 2015 KTM EXC 350 (for the trails and Forest roads. Also a 1974 Triumph Trident. Thanks for the add!

Hey Rob Papa54 here, brother. I too have a 2013 "A" model. Bought it used in late 13 with 2832 miles on it. Now going on 67,000 miles and still diggin it. I'm 63 years old and have done two long trips, one nearly 6000 mile and my last was in 2016 and 7835 miles. A put bar risers on my bike and a Sargent Saddle. I find it easy to ride 6-700 miles a day if I want. My secret is a good set of sound canceling ear buds so I can listen to music , Nav , and an Audible book if I want. I've covered 24 states so far and now that I'm retired hope to do more. You're going to really enjoy your machine Rob, if you load it up and eat miles. So much to see in this country and the FJR is hard to beat for that.

Hi Papa, thanks for the details. At 6'3" I feel like I need the risers also. Which ones did you use? My bike also has a Sargent seat. Rode 230 miles today and the butt was fine!
