    Here on German motorways you can really step on the gas. And even beyond 200 km/h it cuts a very good figure. Absolutely stable even at higher speeds.

  • Best bike yet
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 24, 2012

    I have been riding bikes for 40 years, always Hondas, my last bike was a Blackbird, At 61 years of age I decided to go for a bit more comfort, the FJR was my choice and I'll never regret it, what a superb machine. I am 6'1" tall and nearly always ride 2 up, this bike is perfect for long hauls and ...

  • Does everything well
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 19, 2010

    As an owner of a 2006 FJR, this bike exceeds all expecations from reliability, handling and everyday , functionality. For the price and options, with other bikes in this category, this is the right bike.

  • What a great bike!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 16, 2009

    Speed, power, handling, comfort. Just finished a 3 day, two up trip in rain and shine. This bike gives you the confidence to handle whatever comes your way. This past March, I traveled 6 hours in 33 degree rain trying to get home and it was surprisingly comfortable. Good gear was a big factor ...

  • middle of the road
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 24, 2009

    Purchased used at the end of Aug. 08. 25,000 km on it. Coming from the '00 Honda VFR 800, I wanted a more touring, with all the "sport", but was understanding there would be tradeoffs. The shaft drive definitely makes a difference (floats somewhat, making it seem like the bike might let go) in ...

    Having said that, I must say the power of this shaft drive, for a sport tourer is quite superb. My friend has a VFR 800 and doing some riding around, I found them equal in power capabilities. The specs show the FjR 1 mile an hour faster than the VFR!

    I will be doing an extended tour at the end of June and will report back after that. (A 10 day jaunt to Yellowstone)

  • Perfect Bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 13, 2008

    The FJR is the perfect sports-touring bike. It has power, handling, and comfort. I have done several 800 mile days with no complaints. Being 65 years old and riding for 50 years on several different bikes makes this bike very special. I wouldn't trade this bike for any other on the market. Try ...

    Stay two up,

  • Top Trunk
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 24, 2008

    Don't waist your money on the Yamaha version. The first was called back for possible cracks to the mounting area on the bottom of the truck. The fix was replacing the trunk and a new mounting plate. Well, this was done and my new top case was received. About a month ago I was washing my FJR and taking ...

  • Great all around street bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2008

    The FJR1300A is really a great all around bike. You can stay close dragging the pegs with just about everybody and then throw the bags back on with a weeks worth of clothes assundry items and tour with comfort. The heat problem that was a concern with the 2005 and earlier bikes is gone. The throttle ...

    There isn't one bike that does everything for everybody but if I had to choose just one street/touring bike, this would be the one.

  • My excellent motorcycle!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2008

    I have had my FJR for about a year and a half, and have ridden it about 12,000 miles since buying it new. This motorcycle is absolutely the best motorcycle for my riding that I have ever ridden. It has excellent power, great agility but with correspondingly fantastic stability, incredible brakes, ...
