i just found out the other day that mine is called techno jade

 

but... something bad happened on monday. while i was walking towards my bike on monday morning, it was lying on her left side

 

my bike was parked beside a car lot. and apparently, some idiot driver must have knocked down my bike (it was on main stand!!!) while reversing into the lot or something. i noticed some slight scratches on the right side pannier, which i think is the contact point between my bike and the vehicle.

 

now the left side of the bike is disfigured liao, heart pain :cry:

 

there was no witness or evidence, so cannot find out how it happened...

ya, the kind of feeling really sucks... when the first time i saw the bike lying down...

 

just slight scratches here and there, no protectors. but i dont think it will help much as the top of the fairing near to the headlights also kena. because of the momentum of the drop, the bike was resting on the left fairing and pannier, with the rear wheel up in the air

 

i will post a bigger pic when i have the time

[ashenZ]

fwaahh niceeE~!~~! how much r u paying for it???? where u bot it from??

 

sighhzzz... i kind feel the pain even when the bike's not mine.. can imagine how aching u felt.....

 

i saw the african twin thought wif fairing.. but its seems the got tis side guard at its side... i wonder if itz able to be applied on FJR....

[Guest MARCUS inthesun]

yo ash! u really looking for fjr? i can't afford it... insurance alone can kill me! i most prob getting 600cc bike only...

hey jim . wat the hack. happen man.. ? is there any alien paint marks on ur bike paint? say if there is might be the car that left on it.. never never park in front or the back or on the side of any 4 wheels unless there's a curb or tree in between .. guess he might have hit ur panniers to push it down .. ass hole irresponsible people...atleast put a note and say sorry,, or wat if he can;t affort to pay for the damage..

 

hey bro my heart felt pain for u man.. c if u can use high speed (buffer) for polishing to make the scratch lighter.. \\

Hi there,

What I know the price for now is about, STX $32,000- FJR $28,000 OTR...2nd party..

 

When I asked about this FJR they says after a year the fairing fitting is noisy(maybe flimsy fitting) I don't know...

You guys who own this bike should have a better and bigger picture...I have an interest on this bike...for sometimes.

FJR, Long distance your bums get sore but the speed makes you forget about it...

 

STX, Long distance your balls will be fried, but with comfort...both bikes are good at certain things but most of the riders buy by their wallet...size.
