I got mine last February from a private seller. I absolutely love it it’s so comfortable and bags of power when you need it, I took it to the dragon rally this year 24 I stopped in Hereford but to be honest I could of ridden it all the way such a lovely place to sit. I can’t remember the miles but I live in West Sussex and the rally is in Conway North Wales. Would highly recommend this bike both for a Sunday ride and a long tour.

I just bought a 2009 with low miles, fantastic bike

[@RevBombUK]

Enjoy

[@cookielover1018TM]

Changed oil today, weather needs to cooperate and then on my Journey to wherever, stay safe and ride defensive and smart

[@rolandkeith5322]

These are a good bike that don't have many problems at all cool review man.

[@RevBombUK]

Thanks buddy

[@BlakesPipes]

wonderful bike. it was a contender when i was looking two years ago. i started on a yamaha 23 years ago. i felt like it had a smaller image on the road and less wind protection for long distance as i am wanting to do. thanks buddy.

[@RevBombUK]

👍👍👍👊

[@Geraldt61]

That's incorrect data , it's mileage range on a full tank is actually 300 mile . MPG 35 to 50 depending on riding style.

[@RevBombUK]

@@Geraldt61 👍👍

[@alenfora1400]

Mine is black 2002 i love it and has 50,000 miles

[@RevBombUK]

Great bike, Ride safe buddy

[@hachewie]

How does the power, handling and comfort compare to the GTR1400? I miss my GTR so much.

[@RevBombUK]

GTR has the edge on this only thing missing is a cruise control

[@RhegedRideOuts]

Great bike mate. Was it a case of having it out 3 hours to get 7 minutes footage? 🤣😂🤣

[@RevBombUK]

Went for half hour before going to park, still prefer the gtr

[@extremeways2930]

Looks like it has an aftermarket Cal Sci windshield fitted. They had the hole at the bottom. Massive improvement over standard. The main issue with these bikes id=s that the suspension linkage at the bottom is properly serviced and lubricated to prevent seizure and collapse.

[@RevBombUK]

Thanks for the comments

[@jasonjenson9108]

FJR is the best ride on the road

[@RevBombUK]

good touring bike

[@Docdog-dd1MB]

I have the following bikes still in my possession and working perfectly. 2xHonda CX500B, 1xKawaski Ninja GPZ750r. 1xHonda Valkyrie Touring. 1xYamaha FJR1300 1x Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R. Yamaha is an excellent tour and sports bike, two in one. The only problem is I am looking for the sixth gear on the FJR1300, 😮😂, Busa has 6 and FJR 5 gears.

[@jasonjenson9108]

@@Docdog-dd1MB impressive collection, I don't think the fjr needs a 6th gear

[@Docdog-dd1MB]

@@jasonjenson9108 Thank you. Depend on the way you drive, I always look for one more up, just joking...🥸🤣👏

[@RGBeanie]

Moving onto this from a Yamaha Virago 535 😅. Should be similar right?

[@RevBombUK]

Lot more power 😁😁😁

[@RGBeanie]

@@RevBombUK aye just a little bit 😆

[@Docdog-dd1MB]

I' ve Virago 750cc and FJR 1300, 2003 with 43 000 miles. Big difference, bikes are from two different classes.🥸🥰

[@RGBeanie]

@@Docdog-dd1MB I went with a Triumph trophy 900 haha

[@Docdog-dd1MB]

@RGBeanie No way, no British cars or bikes.🤔🥸🤢🤮 For me, only Japanese bikes and German cars (Mercedes Benz).Have 7 (2×W124, 2W140, 2×163 and 1xW126) if you know what these numbers and letters mean!?! 🤔🥸🤣👏🤣👏🤣🤣🤣

[@jaycounts4717]

Why does a 650 lb motorcycle only get 10-15 more MPG than a 3500 lb car?

[@RevBombUK]

Power to weight ratio

[@TheCrazyBird844]

Also aerodynamics

[@jaycounts4717]

@@TheCrazyBird844 Aerodynamically speaking, a 3 foot wide motorcycle with a windshield should have way less wind resistance than a 6 foot wide car with a blunt nose.

[@TheCrazyBird844]

@@jaycounts4717 Except for cars are the exact same all the time and can employ different tactics to mitigate turbulence, the outside of the car doesn’t change. Bikes however have riders of varying shapes and sizes, pretty consistently there are moving legs, arms, hands, heads, and upper bodies moving about on them. It’s more common for aftermarket parts to affect the airflow over the vehicle, not to mention the lack of smooth sides for engine cases, swingers, side cases, all of these things make a huge difference.

[@jaycounts4717]

@@TheCrazyBird844 I agree that the shape effects the wind resistance...or more accurately, drag, the rear of the bike is not designed to counter the drag effect caused by the things you mentioned, the only way to help eliminate that low pressure zone would be to redesign the the luggage boxes into a more down sloping design, a tail if you will, it my take so getting used to but if it yielded more MPG it might work.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Good police bike

[@RevBombUK]

😁😁😁

[@PeterB_California]

Too bad you didn’t get the audio working that’s the main problem

[@RevBombUK]

🫶👍

[@Gracinda80]

Is it more flickable than the Kawasaki 1400GTR?

[@RevBombUK]

Depends on the rider

[@Gracinda80]

@@RevBombUK mmm... How so? Essentially, what I want to know is how handling the weight feels relative to the centre of mass of the bike. Pretty sure that depends on the machine only.

[@RevBombUK]

@@Gracinda80 weight is lower down on the fjr but gtr is a far better ride

[@Gracinda80]

@@RevBombUK Well, the better-meter depends on the rider! :)

[@RafaelRuiz-r9h]

Never mentioned what year it is. My 05 was a complete pleasure, 82k miles and the next owner still rides it.
