Up for bids is my 2008 Yamaha FJR1300. I recently bought a 2014 FJR , my third one in a row, because for me, there is no better sport touring bike for the money. This 2008 has approximately 30,200 trouble free miles on it and is ready to drive anywhere. It has been meticulously cared for, with all recommended maintenance performed, including a 24,000 mile valve adjustment and regular oil changes. Cosmetically, it is an easy 9+, with only the most minor blemishes. Mechanically, the bike is essentially perfect and has a brand new set of Dunlop SportMax RoadSmart tires, along with fresh oil and filter. It also has a new Texas inspection sticker, good until October, 2015. Additions made to the bike include:Heli Risers for the handlebars;Vista Cruise Throttle Lock;Mototechnik Frame Sliders;Dual port Powerlet accessory outlets, in addition to the standard outlet contained inside the fairing compartment;Dual driving lights;Aftermarket (National Cycle) touring windshield that provides much better protection than the factory unit;Grip Puppies;Passenger Backrest, with flat luggage mount (pictured, but not currently mounted);Trickle Charger. The bike also comes with factory luggage liners (see photos). The passenger backrest bolts on the back with three bolts and has a large, flat luggage support surface, with lots of points for attaching bungies. I always put it on, when going on long trips. In the photos, I show it just resting in place, though not bolted down. Use the Buy It Now price and I will include a factory workshop manual. If you are familiar with the FJR1300, you probably already know about its stunning performance, with an inline four that produces 145 HP and 99 foot pounds of torque (at the crank), while running on regular unleaded gas. I routinely get 44 mpg when touring at 75 mph and with a tank capacity of 6.6 gallons, it has a terrific range for long days in the saddle. Seat height is adjustable from 31.5 inches in the low position, to roughly 32.5 inches in the high position. Always garaged, this is a beautiful bike that runs like new and looks the part, too. There are very minor blemishes, but that's about it. With regular maintenance, you should get 100,000+ more miles out of this guy. I promise no disappointments. Other than normal maintenance, the only service work I've had to do was replacement of the ignition switch, which was done under factory warranty. I am 65 years old, so there has been no stunting, top-end runs, or driving at the limits. Just a well cared for bike. This week, I had new Dunlop SportMax RoadSmart tires put on both front and rear, as well as a fresh oil change (Yamalube) and filter, performed by the dealership. The bike has always been garaged and meticulously maintained. I've taken it on several long rides to the east coast, midwest and west Texas, with nary a scary moment. I live in Smithville, Texas, which is about 40 miles east of Austin. If you fly in, I'll pick you up at the airport and you can drive it home. I hold a clear Texas title, in my name, so transfer will be straightforward. Test drives are possible, but only if you are over 21, have a driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement and bring the full asking price, in cash, for me to hold during the ride. I will ride along with you, on my new FJR. I have now owned three FJRs in a row (2005, 2008 and 2014), because I've never found a bike I liked more. Awesome power, excellent handling, thoughtful features and good looks, all at a great price. I am selling, because I bought a new FJR for my latest cross-country trip, which took me up to Canada and the northwestern US. (The new model has heated grips and electronic cruise control, both of which were appreciated when traveling through open plains, in cold weather.) Plus, every few years I just get the itch for a new bike. Winning bidder must pay a non-refundable deposit of $500 via PayPal, within 48 hours of the end of the auction.
