Is this the best place to find a used FJR?

Okay, I think it may be time to break the Concours habit after 22 years. Is this a good place to find a used Gen II FJR?

Could be the sale fell through, maybe contact them again. There are quite a few Georgia riders on the forum, maybe one could test it out for you and let you know how it looks.Mike Aldea wrote:That was a few weeks ago and the ad was just updated yesterday. I wonder why the ad keeps updating if the motor is sold?

Because this particular FJR was so well farkled out I thought it might possible belong to or be known by someone on the FJR Forum even thought it was never offered for sale there. One of the forum members said he thought it might have belonged to Root Beer Express who he said was a member here.clocklaw wrote:Could be the sale fell through, maybe contact them again.

Well, the gold levers may be the hint....anyone that knows who's bike this is (if it's Root Beer Express then someone has his contact info) I'm sure they will be along shortly.Mike Aldea wrote:Because this particular FJR was so well farkled out I thought it might possible belong to or be known by someone on the FJR Forum even thought it was never offered for sale there.

I wonder if the add was set up on an auto renewal?Mike Aldea wrote:There hasn't been much on Craigslist near me. I found what I thought would be the perfect 2007 for me on Cycle Trader for sale in GA. The location wouldn't be a problem for me because I have family and friends down there. But the private seller didn't respond to my initial attempts to contact him.
Then I saw the ad renewed after a couple of weeks so I tried again. Well, when I finally reached the seller he said it was sold.
That was a few weeks ago and the ad was just updated yesterday. I wonder why the ad keeps updating if the motor is sold?
I broke that habit in 07, welcome to the FJR...Mike Aldea wrote:Okay, I think it may be time to break the Concours habit after 22 years. Is this a good place to find a used Gen II FJR?
