gnr Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Also, any problems? I'm certainly not near the top with only 1200 miles. No problems thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjay09 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 workn2ride posted a hair over 20,000 in another thread. That's some riding! I'll cross over the 1000 mile mark this week and so far no major issues. Hearing some timing chain rattle so I might run it by the dealer and see what they have to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

root Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 My guess would be @redfjniner at 22k so far from one of his recent posts but I don't think he's back to riding since his accident. I'm almost to 4k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 9rider Posted August 31, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 31, 2015 I've got 9 miles on mine. Just picked it up from Power Yam. in Sublimity, OR. That's the place to go for a GREAT deal! $ 8999. out the door. And if you are an Oregon resident NO Sales tax.. No set up or delivery fees! Ask for Shane for a super deal.

Premium Member hooligans3 Posted August 31, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 31, 2015 2057 trouble free miles so far. Best bike I have owned so far. It does everything I want with an extra helping of "Awesome Sauce". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I find it interesting how many people say it is the best bike they have ever owned. I suppose there is a tendency to say that about whatever bike you currently own, but some have had a number of different bikes for comparison. This is the first street bike I have ever owned and did consider many different bikes before I finally bought. Seems like it was a good choice. Powerful, light handling but heavy enough to be stable on the highway, and comfortable. Glad to see there haven't been many common problems yet as well.

Yeah, you are going to get some bias on a fourm dedicated to a specific bike. While I don't think it's perfect, it does fit what I'm looking for in a bike far better than anything else I have seen on the market. Other people may be looking for different things in a bike and that's ok. In other words, insert the obligatory YMMV here. No pun intended. lol. Just kidding, the pun wasn't intended at first, but now it is most definitely intended. Can we put the YMMV pun into Schrodinger's box so it is both intended and unintended at the same time?

sxx360 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Every bike and person is different and they all have their own best uses. The other bikes I've had have their own specific use to me and the FJ09 just does everything. I've got just shy of 8000 miles on mine and no serious issues so far, I'm gonna see if I can hit 10k this year. Only time will tell how far I'll make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
