I'm keeping the 05 FJR...for now. I didnt get into riding to get into motorcycles, if that makes sense(started riding at 40yrs old.) FJR says "more speed,more speed, you could've taken that corner faster" regardless of how fast I've gone but I ride for the wind,air and nature of it. I like the SuperT for those aspects. I like sitting high and seeing far. I also like traction control and ABS(not available on my 05 FJR.)bmac said:I had a 2006 FJR and after a CO adjustment it was pretty smooth. It was much smoother than my 2012 Super Tenere but it is not as smooth as my 2014 Super Tenere ES. If vibration is a concern you might want to test a 2014 or 2015 before buying a 1st generation especially if you plan on keeping it a long time. My original plan was to keep the FJR along with the Tenere but after a couple weeks I sold the FJR as I knew it would not get ridden very much. The Super Tenere is far more comfortable especially with a Corbin seat.
The latches take a little getting used to, and you'll need the tumblers keyed to your ignition, or, carry an extra key. To answer your questions about durable, waterproof, and easy removal, yes, yes, and yes.lapi said:. I have a promise for the OEM cases for around $800(with mounting)...just wonder if they are durable,waterproof as Caribou and have handles for easy hotel entry/exit. Thanks!
Thats good news pub610. was trying to avoid the flying suacer look. Trekkers have same dual entry feature. Price.pub610 said:I've got Givi E41s on my S10 -- 36,000 miles. I also came from an FJR background -- I owned three -- and had the same concerns you have. Put 'em out of your mind and enjoy the bike.
I'm running a head scarf (grab sweat, keep helmet clean) and in the winter a balaclava. With the helmet the large helmet at the current tightness, no good.shrekonwheels said:You want a snug helmet, there are varying opinions but usually you want it just snug enough you can slip only your index finger or less between your forehead and helmet. Your cheeks should be squished. Your cheek padding will also loosen up down the road so keep that in mind.
Bright colors save lives, they are not a guarantee but they do help increase your odds.
In 25 years of street riding my time has been divided fairly equally between black and bright colors, without a doubt cagers seem to notice me more often wearing bright colors.
Not sure the silver helmet would be a deal breaker for me, but the jacket defiantly, if you own a dark one you can always put a high vis vest over it.
