Popular Post NinjaDoc Posted April 8, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Well it's been a slowly oozing public knowledge about this addict failing to quit motorcycling again. Last year sold both bikes- vstrom and Daytona by the end of fall. Was some what content with the decision about quitting (third attempt in 3yrs) and living along when some one did a Leonardo decap style inception about FJR into this volatile brain. Well the thought kept brewing and before the first snow hit right before winter a used 2nd gen fjr came along for good price and I couldn't resist because of good old price and being way more foolish than I thought I would ever become I set out to rip up the bike and upgrade and finish up the maintenance. Drowned few more Hundys into it and this is it.

NinjaDoc Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 thx guys, yes i been itching to ride this bike. Was in my unheated garage all night last night to get this thing finished so i can do a test run saturday and go for longer run sunday. Prolly gonna end up catching cold by tomorrow and bed ridden by sunday lol All the bikes i been through i put at least 4K + miles in the short duration i had them. Thus getting to know them well but still not fully getting used to them. This will be a big disadvantage as i never get to "learn" one bike and be comfortable with it. But so far one of the best motorcycle ever has been my beloved vstrom, am gonna miss selling that bike. @Al Z. Heimer had advised me multiple time that selling that bike would be one big mistake but an OCD ADD addict brain is wired different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still may have one of these in the stable one day, I have a soft spot for the FJR. Bring that bad boy down to the Epic Ride! I always liked the fjr on paper stats, but for some reason the seating and ergo never agreed with me, the neck is too wide pushing your crotch kinda wide. And the Connie was perfect fit for me. But for some weird reason I knew I would end up getting the fjr eventually and that thought stuck with me I guess when I jumped into the deal. 8 minutes ago, mello dude said: Sweet wheels Doc! That FJR is on my gotta ride one list.... Yes for sure, while I was enjoying the vfr, the flow chart looked like this, if I wanted more touring oriented upgrade get the fjr. If I wanted more sporting oriented upgrade get the tuono, always wanted to try one. Well this was until I tried the 7th gen vfr, now that is the perfect bike right there praying no good ones pop up closer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) This was what the little birdies were telling me about for a while but I kept my mouth shut..lol Congrats Doc, I think people are seeing every day what we are doing with these ST machines and want a piece of it. The days of them being labeled slow and heavy are over. I've never felt like the FJR was my grove after riding a few but the Connie songs my song for sure. Only thing I would replace her with is a Motus and my bank account says that will never happen. Edited April 8, 2017 by 2talltim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I would replace her with is a Motus and my bank account says that will never happen. For sure, it was the high used price that kept me away from going fjr so long. Now that couple new generations are out the 2nd gen pricing is coming down. I always liked a heavier bike with big bags for some weird reason. Every bike I got I put hard panniers on lol. Almost got one for the monster even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
