Sold - Yamaha FJR1300

rbn · 08-22-2012, 09:18 AM

SOLD!!!!

** Entertaining trades for 1150 GS/Tiger/Caponord/Vstrom**

I've got a very nice well farkled '05 FJR 1300 that is not only well maintained but is ready to go for many more miles. It has less than 27,500 miles on the odometer and it is barely broke in.

I need to sell the bike because of an old back injury which is giving me problems. I thought I was going to be able to utilize the bike for a long trips but a recent weekend at the 3 sisters left me feeling quite uncomfortable.

I've located several bikes with owners that are not willing to trade so I thought I'd drop my price for a good value so that I can quickly replace this great bike with one that better suits my needs in comfort.

That is a beautiful color!

Do you have any photos of the bike without saddlebags, backrest and top case. I Googled for photos but all I could find had bags installed. Curious what the exposed mounting hardware looks like with bags off.

If you took off the hard cases from both sides and replace the side caseplugs, which I have

and replaced the tail rack with the stock unit (I have that too.)
The bike would look similar to this one:

(this is not my bike but it is the same year and color)

bike pictured has aftermarket exhaust, mine is stock

So have you found your next bike already or might you be open to a trade? If yes what is bike or style you would be interested in?

Currently I'm looking at a couple of Aprilia Caponords. If that falls through I'd entertain a well farkled VStrom or BMW R1150GS even a Tiger.

Your FJR is in fantastic condition!

The heat is a non-issue for me. On my former Honda ST1300, I just wrapped the exhaust headers with Thermotec material. It last 50,000 miles and the heat was virtually nill. Very cheap and easy to install!

You can always ceramic coat the exhaust headers and ride the bike to 100,000 miles with little if any heat.

It's almost like they waited for you to buy a genII before listing their bikes...

gixxerjasen · 08-22-2012, 01:40 PM

Secret plot I'm telling you!

Cbolling · 08-22-2012, 04:32 PM

Is 05' the last year of the Gen 1?

Why are they better then the Gen 2?

Oh boy, that's a whole different can of worms. Instead of being re posted here and 'hijacking' the thread for this FJR, you might just go read over here some of the opinions..

Yes, the 2005 model year is the last of the Gen 1 FJRs.

All FJRs are great bikes; the two generations are much more alike than different. Here is the big FJR comparison table noting differences among all years: http://www.fjrforum.com/files/fjrcomparo.pdf
