Yamaha FJR description

I took delivery of this motorcycle in November of 2012, and have enjoyed nearly 44,000 trouble free miles on it, including a  Three Flags Classic rally (Mexico to Canada) and the USA Four Corners Tour. I am an FJR addict and this is my third one, having had  Generation I (2005) and Generation II (2008) models. Why am I selling this Generation III?  Because I just got a new Generation IV 2016 FJR 1300ES model! Although the mileage is higher than many, I know of some FJRs with over 100,00 miles that are still performing faultlessly with no drive-train issues at all.

 The big differences between the Gen II and Gen III models are the addition of standard cruise control and heated grips. Now I don’t know how I got by on my ’05 and ’08 without them! They’re fantastic! ABS and Traction Control are standard also.

 The motorcycle includes the following modifications, upgrades, and accessories:

  1. Powerlet rear outlet hooked directly to battery for battery tending
  2. Fused and switched power distribution block
  3. Gerbing heating clothing connection
  4. Suzuki knuckle guards
  5. Touratech GPS stem mount
  6. Wired for Garmin Zumo 590 and Escort Passport 8500 X50. (The radar detector comes with the bike.)
  7. Superbrace
  8. Magnum Blaster horn
  9. Fenda Extenda
  10. Frame sliders
  11. Modification of the glove box lid so that it opens without the requirement to have electric power on while being in Neutral
  12. Left side exhaust pipe heel guard. (The right side one came standard on Gen IIIs.)

The bike comes with a brand-new stock  rider seat since I moved the seat that I had modified from the ’13 to the ’16. It has been down once, while moving at slow speed in a gravel parking lot. This caused scratches on the right saddlebag and on the right cowl. The Yamaha decal has been lost from both saddle bags. The tires are Metzler R6s installed 8,000 miles ago. The two original keys, the extra lock for the Yamaha top case, tool kit, owner’s manual, and the body inserts for when the bags are not installed are all included.

Bring your Zumo and you’ll have an absolutely complete Sport Touring motorcycle ready for anything for years to come! I’ll see you on the road.

Yamaha Named Official Motorcycle Of Road America

Thu, 02 May 2013

The economic downturn hit the motorcycle world particularly hard, as many factory-backed road racing efforts closed shop. The decision, while unfortunate, isn’t hard to understand, as racing at the highest levels isn’t cheap, and a factory involvement means added pressure to succeed, which ultimately means spending more money to do so. Through it all, however, Yamaha has remained involved with the sport, fielding factory teams and sponsoring various riding schools and even racetracks.

And in my front room this evening...

NO IT'S NOT an illusion: you're looking at the 1981 Yamaha OW53, ridden by double World Champion Barry Sheene in the first three rounds of the '81 500GP championship. The bike's owner, aircraft engineering entrepreneur Chris Wilson, has lent the £100,000 GP machine to Visordown for our stand at this year's NEC Motorcycle Show - 27th November to 6th December 2009. Sheene raced the bike in the 1981 championship, where he finished fourth at Salzburgring, sixth at Hockenheim and third at Monza.
