Help Me Find My 15th FJR! A Pristine '13 Model

Post by SkooterG »

Smitty got his,now I want mine! Yes, I already have a '13, but it's not pristine.

So I am looking for a well taken care of example of a '13 model FJR. Preferably less than 10k miles. Maybe up to 15k or so. There were a bunch I saw 1-2 years ago when I wasn't serious about buying. Of course. I know this is the slow season. I regularly check Craigslist and CycleTrader, but just in case one of you fellers happen to know somebody, who knows somebody.........

Private party sale is preferred. First for the ownership history, but mainly because in Arizona I don't pay sales tax on a private party vehicle transaction.

The hell I do!

If I did want one, there has been a '14 ES model for sale here locally. It only has 2,047 miles for crying out loud. But he wants too much for it. I thought my '14 with only 3,600 miles might be one of the lowest. Apparently not!

I’ll bet in Portugal they have matrons in the public men’s rooms. Skooter you certainly have the skill set to do well in that job and prove a man can handle it.

I just traded a moderately maintained 2013.
89k miles.
Suspension in need of an upgraded. Kind of springy and sagging.
Scratches on one side.
Terribly hard warn out Corbin seat.
Loud pipes.
Stock windshield with some kind of spotting issue.

It did have good tires.

PM if interested in the dealers details. :evil:

Skooter,

Not my thing, really, but maybe this link will help the search:

Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
Yeah, I ride motorcycles. I know why dogs put their heads out of the car windows.
Yeah, I fly hang gliders (3000 hrs.+). I know why the birds sing.

Why do these relatively young FJR's have so FEW miles on them? Are they museum pieces? I just bought an '05 that had less than 30,000 miles on it. That's approx 1750 miles PER YEAR or 147 miles PER MONTH. I just don't get it. I had an FZ1 for 2 years and put 24,000 miles on it. They're made for ridin', y'all.

Financial success is not Scooter’s game plan. He needs another bike like another hole in his knucklehead. It would just sit in line with the other 10 major projects he already has going on.

He has the biggest garage I’ve ever seen; and the most unfinished projects I’ve ever seen!!
