  1. Selling my beloved low mileage (9376) FJR with all the mods anyone could reasonably desire.

     

    Time to move to a full on touring bike in the interest of comfort as I and my wife age.

  2. The FJR feels like tossing around a bicycle compared to the Gold Wing. It's that much more nimble. And that much more fun.

    If your pal is in decent shape he will enjoy the FJR more. The grin factor is much greater.

    I've had both bikes within the past year.

    The Gold Wing has a much lower COG.

    Both are super reliable.

    One keeps you feeling young. Not trying to start a fight here but the day I'm old enough to have a Gold Wing is the day I'm too old to ride a motorcycle. I tried. I really did. Could not bond with it.

    Go with the FJR, and this one for sale is a handsome, healthy specimen. It's the bike you look back at after you've parked it. It's the bike you peek at in the garage. It's the bike that accelerates like the space shuttle up mountain passes. It's the bike that makes you smile when you see a line of cars you need to pass out in the middle of nowhere.

  3. New, unused; I bought this horn for the 2013 FJR I recently sold; before I realized I had this I also bought the PIAA kit with the dual horn set up. So I was left with this. I was going to put it on my wife's bike but we are selling it.

    This horn retails for $64 on the PIAA website: http://www.piaa.com/store/p/411-Powersports-Slim-Line-Sports-Horn-500Hz.aspx

    Yours shipped to CONUS for $50.

  4. This is my wife's bike. She is giving up riding her own bike. So her 2009 dual sport is up for sale. We bought it for her from Engle Motors in Kansas City in November 2011 with 28,800 miles on it. The bike is a six speed with ABS brakes, gear position indicator, touring windshield, Touratech hanguards, brake fluid reservoir protector, headlight protectors. It has a lowered suspension for the inseam-challenged rider so the centerstand has been removed. I have service records for period of time since we bought it and Engle has the rest. My wife dropped it and the shift fork had to be replaced.

    The bike runs new. It has a recent oil/filter change and new fork seals. It has Skene Design P3 brake light LEDs.

    It has the easy revving, stout 798cc Rotax twin engine. The charcoal canister has been removed. The gas tank was replaced under recall. We keep it on the Battery Tender. It has a Powerlet connection port and a standard cigarette lighter power port right next to it. It has always been garaged while we owned it. The front tire is brand new while the rear one has only a few hundred miles on it.

    It's ready to ride. Call or text Nick at 816-365-2828 with any questions.

    Asking $6,000; negotiable.

  5. I have been looking for a good rower for a while. I have been trying to find a deal on a Concept2 and keep missing them. I picked up a LifeCore R100 last night so I'm about to dive in. From what I read though the C2 is the gold standard the LifeCore is every bit as good and even a little more advanced.

    I think this should be a pretty good workout for my non-lifting days. I don't know anything about rowing other than it seems like a really good way to hit a LOT of muscles and its zero impact...IE not pounding my joints like running/jumping rope etc. Hopefully I won't stroke out. :icon_biggrin:

    I've had a Concept II since 1998. It is very reliable, easy to use, comfortable and tough as nails. I would highly recommend it. The company as I recall provides great customer service too. It will work you out as hard as you want to. In the past, when I was a younger man and in better shape, it was my go-to means of being very fit and trim. I still have it but I have migrated over to kettle bells as my way of trying to ward off the ravages of aging.

  6. That looks like a real nice bike. Good luck with the sale.

    Do you want your plates visible in the photo's? Some thieves locate bikes that way.

    I thought about blurring out the tags. I see lots of people do that. I'll take my chances.

    Still got full coverage insurance, I presume. Not a bad plan in this market. :icon_thumbsup:

    If this is what results in this bike being stolen, I never had a chance. :icon_thumbsup:

  7. In the category of "stupid" I noticed that my photos of the clock on the dash panel show "a.m." That's because when I adjusted the clock a few days ago, I set it on a.m. instead of p.m. I just changed it to p.m. I am not in the habit of photographing my bike at 2:41 a.m. The mistake was mine, not the clock's.
