If I were to say the real reasons as to why I am selling the FJR on an FJR forum .... I'll definately get flamed by all the FJR die-hard (flame-suit 'ON') here. Let's just say ... I intend to upgrade.

 

Aiya bro,

 

To me if u can let us know better mah, so in case if any of our frens who wants to own a FJR can at least tell themt he prob that u are facing. As for me i should say nothing is hurt except for the pocket only.. I bought a brand new 06 for myself..:faint:

 

Truth hurts but thats reality.

Hello New Surfer ...

 

I have owned and rode 2 GL1500 and 3 GL1800 since 1995 and prior to that the ST1100. I am selling the FJR and hopefully be getting back the 2008 GL1800. I have no complaints about the powers of the FJR. However, I find the FJR's engine a little too noisy for my liking and when compared with the road handling, the 1800 wins handsdown. These are some of the setback that I find on the FJR. Other reasons are: Gear-shifting is rough, bike jerk when not at an appropriate speed, engine is super hot which makes me dread to ride the bike in city traffic.

 

To all die hard FJR owner, i am not flaming the FJR motorcycle as these finding as strictly my own opinion. It is like switching from a Lexus to a Proton, and you will find the vast difference.

Definitely... We are all entitled to our own opinions. Some of the issues you mentioned are also experinced by us. Some got used to them, others overcame them. It really boils down to what we want in our ride and you knew very well what you want too.

 

Though our fellowship was short, still wish you all the best in your GL. :cheeky:

Hi FJRider,

 

I got to agree if you say that engine is hot but since you are riding the '06 model, they have attached a side wing like to your side fairing for us to direct out the hot air away from us.Maybe you should try about it for second considerations. Since you are a GW owner before, I understands the comfort you used to get compared to FJR. I once have a friend who told me that riding GW is like riding a TANK. You are protected from the size of it & comfort is not to be missed.Hope you can get your GL1800 after your sales for the FJR gone smooth.However each bike has its ups & down & boils down to riders preference.

 

 

I don't think any FJR owners will be flaming at you coz i believe most FJR owners as matured ppl & think wisely & also respects ppl opinion. Just that maybe ones interpretation of language & sentence is different from one another.

 

 

No bike is not good, just that they never match our individuals preference & usage.

 

 

 

Safe ride & smooth journey for the road that leads us to.

All the best to you in finding your perfect motorcycle,

please don't forget to let us know when you sell your GL1800 again :angel:

Someone here might want to pick it up as a spare bike. :cheeky:

It doesn't make any difference whether a motorcyclist has the right-of-way or not, the rider is the one most likely to get hurt.

Hello all

 

Have been following this thread in regards to the Sitiwan seafood trip. Believe it's on?

 

BTW, Happy Cookies, you mentioned also about having "something" on b4 this trip. Where it'd be to? Maybe I can join for this one but Sitiawan still unsure.

 

Thanks.
