No doubt. Jim got quick. You will, too. 

Shit.. even the RT is a very good 2-up mile muncher in stock configuration. You just have to spend $25-30,000 to get that up front. Or... you can piece meal it a bit at a time with a $15,000 bike and hope "good enough" holds true. 

That’s what I love about the bike I got, I’m in it for only $15k.

Fuck yes! on sticking with red. It's like you "leveled-up", more so than changed bikes. 

Also, please extol the virtues of this machine over the IronButt Icon FJR. I have almost zero miles on a Wing and less than 10 on a late-gen FJR. I can wholly accept @Tonik's euphoria switching from the Voyager... great bike, but hardly a competitive tourer against bikes like these. Their range and suspension alone TKO the Voyager from the gate. Is it THAT much better than the FJR, too? 

The big difference for me is out of the box comfort. The FJR takes some accessories and custom seat to get real all day comfort. The wing is head and shoulders above the FJR on two-up riding, which was the main reason for buying it. I feel like I can wheel the wing just as quick as the FJR once I get some more miles logged.

SOLD Mods can you please lock it up.

Bump $8000

I believe the mileage is 53,000

Yeah that is correct. Sorry about that. This bike has been meticulously maintained, I wouldn’t hesitate riding it across the country.

That bike has seen most of the US, and it is definitely set up for long distance touring.  LBTS GLWS!

Thanks again for your input on the wing! 

I think it’s around 40 or so states 😂

I thought selling your body parts was illegal?

It definitely feels like I’m getting rid of a part of me.

Congrats on the Wing!

Gotta sell the FJR first 😂

I didn’t think this was gonna ever happen, but it’s time for a new bike for me. It’s one amazing bike and I really want to see it go to a good home.

2014 FJR1300 original owner Terry’s Custom Seat, Givi Trunk, Pipewerx Exhaust, Touring Windshield, ASV Levers, bar risers, LED headlights & fog lights, traxxion dynamics fork springs, fork brace, canyon cages, givi tank bag, fuzeblock, highway pegs, pair delete, and admore lighting kit. I’m sure I’m missing some stuff. Bike has always been serviced and valves were just checked and within spec. I bought the bike new in 2014, never dropped or wrecked.

$8500

Money sent your way @2talltim. Hopefully we can get Dan a camera ASAP.

Biggest downside to auto-blip is when you ride your other bike that doesn’t have it. 

This was me with the quickshifter on the MT but not the FJR.

Just learned the 2020's are Euro 5 compliant and thus have 2 fewer pounds of torque. If you buy a 2020 both your dad and I will have more powerful bikes than you.

Dad's been talking about getting the tune for his...

Warning for those pondering the bagger version. It does not have a center stand, traction control and the suspension adjustment is manual. Can add the center stand afterwards.

Get the trunk version and de-trunk it. Honda makes a nice kit to do that as do some aftermarket peeps.

Yeah I’ve ran into this issue, found some great prices until I find out it’s a non tour they added a trunk to. Also no electronic suspension or reverse.

lol I don’t consider myself any better than anyone else. We are all human beings. 
 

But I know I have more skills than others that are available to me to call upon if the need presents itself.

Well I guess I’ll keep my lack of skill, wadded up less bikes that way.

I went my whole life without wrecking on the street. Two trips to the track and I wrecked.

This issue is settled. Mods, lock the thread.

This! Yes people find what their bike can do or their abilities to maneuver bikes ON THE TRACK, but guess what the street has way too many variables to use most of those abilities. My MT was like super glued to the track and I could throttle the hell out of corner exit. Guess what, on the street, I was fighting traction, stepping out using throttle modulation. Same goes for braking. I had a blast on the track but it’s a total different animal, and I don’t consider myself better than others because of a track day.

FTFY

Not completely different. You learn to use your eyes on track as well. Learn what your bike can really do and be comfortable doing it. That's the difference. You can be going at a good clip all day and have one moment oh shit moment; one rider might ride that out and be fine because of the track experience, the other may not be so lucky. It happened to me on one of my last street rides, and I only had a handful of track days under my belt. I'd be on someone's windshield if I wasn't comfortable doing what I had to do to tighten my radius. 

I didn’t know you couldn’t learn to be comfortable with handling your bike without taking it to the track.

Lol, you 's turned an oil thread into a track/street thread. That is impressive, even by OR standards.

Jim we all know Rotella is a best 😂 not much to discuss.

Speaking for myself its all about risk. Street isn't a place to run any faster than you guys are already going which is already a good clip. That is why I transitioned. 

I wouldn't say they can't, most likely a choice based on the level of risk. 

So what you’re saying is track guys don’t stoop down to street guy dangers. In my opinion, it’s a completely different skill set. Memorizing a track and getting every possible time gain is a skill, but running a good clip all day comfortably without riding over your head is also a great skill.

You forgot the track vs street crowd.

Basic synopsis, track guys have more “knowledge & skill” but can‘t explain why some street guys have no problem running the same or faster pace than them on a group ride through twisties. Then the street guys explain the track is fun but not railing curvy roads all day fun. It’s a vicious circle.😂

Just get the one that comes in the 5 quart 1 gallon jugs. 

Haha yeah Tim tell me again where u get those 5 quart Rotella jugs.

It must be winter...Sad part is some people are actually arguing about oil 😂

A thread about a cruiser turns into MotoGP talk 🤣

We are told to expect a new distributor for Held in January/February from what I hear from a reputable source. We love Held gloves and hope to get setup once they become available again. 

They were being distributed by Schuberth right?
