[QUOTE="wftreg, post: 1442812, member: 4356"] I am 70 years old and have been riding motorcycles since I was 12. I had been riding a 1978 CB 750 and had returned from a trip from Mpls to California when I decided to get a "modern" bike with no chain. I was going to get a BMW but was encouraged to look at the FJR. So, in 2005 I bought a 2005 FJR abs. I am 5'9 and weight around 150. It is a little on the heavy side but very manageable! It is great for road trips and tends to want to go a little fast. I still have the FJR and annually I take it for at least one cross country trip. I put a custom Laam seat, oversized windshield, bar risers, additional foot pegs, magnum blaster horn, extra lights and a few other farkels. Since it is set up to fit me I see no reason to replace the bike. Although I live in Minnesota I had the bike out this December on one of the warmer days and thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I love the bike! [/QUOTE]
