First topic message reminder :

It is with great sadness that I have to announce the disposal of my beloved FJR. This is the fourth one that I have owned and I have probably done about 120,000 miles on them in total. At my tender age the bike has just become too heavy and too tall (its not grown its me that's shrunk) to manoeuvre about, fine on the move, but just too heavy. The good news is that it will be replaced by a Honda cbf1000 which is 50 kilos lighter, and I can get my feet flat on the ground. The slight downside is that it is chain drive, I swore I'd never own another chain driven bike, having owned 2 Pan Europeans before my FJRs. Anyway the deed is done, I've bought a 2012 model with 3,800 miles on it. It has genuine Honda panniers and topbox heated grips, and fairing lowers, and 15 months of Honda warranty remaining. Further good news is that a certain Mr. Eddie has decided he would kike the FJR so it will be staying in the family as it were.
