I think you should just look for a well sorted gold wing. I will still ride with you as long as I don't have to stare at a stuffed animal on your top box. Just think, Your wife may even start riding with you on nice Wing with passenger arm rest. Try thinking of your passenger or should I say Co-Rider in Wing speak. Plus a trailer could carry all the cases of Old Milwaukee you need for a weekend.😁 I will buy you your first vest so you can start sewing patches on it before next years "Wing Ding Event" You had me at stuff animal. I’d totally rock animal from the muppets....or maybe Taz. Im not totally broken, but do find my beloved FZ uncomfortable as prison sex after a while. And the biggest issue, my wife won’t ride it. She wants a back rest and to go ride into ky or wv for weekend trips with our friends. Can’t do that on the fz unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 06 and 07 were the C10 and had carbs. For a C14 I'd look for at least a 10 and up or 12 and ups are even better. But the 09 and 09s will be the ones you'll find cheap. Nothing wrong with them they just made tweaks that made them better after 10 then again in 12. I don’t mind carbs a bit on a thumper, but i want efi on a long distance machine. No idea they made a c14 with carbs Im assuming FJR is fi 06+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an MRI scheduled for the end of the month. Best case scenario is nothing is wrong and we travel another path to find the source. Worst case is possible brain tumor/damage of some sort from who knows what. I know...its hard to do a brain scan when there isnt anything there to begin with Damn dude didn’t realize this is what you’ve been dealing with. Hoping for the best!

Here is a rundown on the changes over the years. I think you want a gen 2 at the least. Two up with that heavy of a bike please seriously consider ABS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FJR1300 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man. Had a scare about 10 years ago or so. Some bloodwork came back off and did the MRI thing. Nothing then, and shouldnt be anything now. Just trying to cover all our bases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
