Cannot believe that it is 8 years since this! Always enjoy your vlogs Bryan.

The beautiful part of the ES model being so popular is that the A models can be had for cost a year or two later. I just got a leftover 16 A model for 5000 off sticker. Being it is only me on it (wife rides her own) I set the suspension once and no need to change.

Man that's the beauty of technology. I'm sitting here at the kitchen table having a coffee, listening to some Eagles (RIP Glen), I sen you a message from the other side of the world, and you respond nearly straight away! Anyhow, glad to hear you love the bike. I'm torn between selling a ZRX1200 which I love, or a Triumph Speedmaster which my wife loves to buy one ofe these babies. Ride on!

Congratulations on the bike. I like your spirit man.

Good story, I've just got an FRJ 2014 so I must check out your other Vlogs. Arizona RE sent me...He told me to say that :)

Suggested video...changing out the coolant on your FJR. Keep up the good work, enjoy your stuff. Matt

I wanted a new 2016 Harley Davidson Ultra Limited but didn't want to pay $27k MSRP when it came out in late 2014. It's ok. Found it a year later with 9k miles for $18k. Really thrilled with it. I'm a new subscriber and really dig your channel. Watching them all from the beginning. Great stuff man. Ride safe!!

Great Videos! I am looking for this bike right now. Maybe not brand spanking new though. Thanks for insight.

Hey, there, I am in the same boat as you as I too have a large frame. I also need to an XXL helmet. I have had several Shoei helmets as they were the only ones that seemed to fit comfortably....until I bought a Bell RS !!! Lighter, cheaper and more comfortable..... :)

Still driving the fjr? I got a 2013 mod in "Frosted Blade colour" beautiful machine.You should come to Norway someday.

I like the part where you go to the gloves. The old ones were the wrong color. I lucked out. I went from 2005 FJR to 2016 FJR.. No color change.

That Z1000 is awesome! I also like the look of the ZX14R, but like you said, not very practical.

48 hours logo. Have to remember that.

Nice logo! Emblem

Just surfed to your site. New subscriber. Looking forward to some good vids. I have a '12 Suzuki V-strom 650 Adventure. Thinking of trading for a new FJR1300ES. Down East NC.

I'd probly walk away if they wouldnt let me there while uncrating it after they told me i could.

Hi, i am the proud owner of a brand new FJR 1300, 2016. Really enjoyed watching your vids. Question: the bike is somewhat too high for me, i tip toe on the ball of my feet. I am considering buying lowering links. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Regards.

I like the FJR1300 but due to medical/mobility issues if I was to get one it would have to be the AE model. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on that model?

2014: Concourse 14 should be updated by next year! 2019: Nope!

How many miles on her now? Has she been everything you wanted?

I’m curious.. I got a 2018 es dec 8th 2018. It will be a few months before the 2019’s with only what seems to be a paint difference. It’s msrp is 18. I ‘negotiated’ playing the stupid let me ask the manager game 4 times, to get it down to 14. 4K off. I know it’s still not worth that but felt I didn’t get screwed as bad. 17 our the door with tax, license and ‘screw you’ fees. I was looking at replacing a r1200rt and it was 27 out the door. So I see it as not as nice, not as smooth, and not 10k more. The right mirror was loose and almost fell off. But fine after tightened. It had very tiny scratches which a made a huge deal about in order to get a deal. But yeah, brand new and kinda messed up because poor retards assemble this stuff. This is a sports bike with bags essentially. Survey: how badly did I negotiate? Anyone buy it new for lower? I’m aware it probably takes 5 grand to manufacture..

Sell one of the cars, Buy a second bike. it's Florida bike country.
