traverse Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm Guessing Kansas Michigan is a new state; I'm also sure Cruizin will separate them after this post. I thought I would check in and see how many other Michiganders are planning on getting this bike. Just another 20 degree night, dreaming of Spring. Enjoying watching this site grow, and learning about my soon to be new bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

designflaw06 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've got the FJ-09's big brother, the FJR. But sitting over in Muskegon, always looking for people to ride with. Currently helping a buddy of mine get the FJR-09. He's over on the east side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traverse Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 119 Is is nice ride indeed! It's only 4 hours North of ya in a cage, on your new FJ who knows...? Enjoy the bike, and let's hope the weather stays this way, I'm ready to ride too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitrider82 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Anything above 40 degrees I'm riding the FZ, just put on some long johns and a few pair of socks combined with a leather jacket, and I'm good to go. It should hold up, next week we will be peaking into the 60s so get out and ride! Have you taken your FJ into the UP yet? '15 FJ-09 - Candy Red.

dirtnut67 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'm from Petoskey area. Putting some goodies on my fj right now. I will be riding soon. I like to wait till after the first rain. Wash the salt off of the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, but will this year, I'm hoping Sargent finishes up their seat, otherwise I will put the Corbin on it. I get sick of stopping every hour, my ass can't deal with the stock seat. Week long trip planned in July! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richkay Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 From SE Michigan(Howell area) Just picked my fj up 3-15-16 .... just glad its home and waiting for warmer weather at this point. Its a long story about a terrible dealer! Yamaha in Cypress California got acquainted with me....they did not seem to happy to hear my story!

I get sick of stopping every hour, my ass can't deal with the stock seat. Week long trip planned in July! That Sargent seat looks quite nice, wonder what the price tag will run. I did the 7.5 hour ride straight thru last Monday from Kentucky and my legs were shot. Week long? Sounds great! Where to? '15 FJ-09 - Candy Red.

traverse Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm guessing the seat will be in the range of the FZ seat they currently have...? As far as the ride, no real plan, head north, cross the mighty Mac, and let the bike decide from there! My a$$ hurts just thinking about 7.5 hours straight.

Premium Member ribbonguy Posted March 22, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm guessing the seat will be in the range of the FZ seat they currently have...? Perhaps if they sell the rider seat alone... however I would expect to be a fair amount more for the two piece seat. 2015 FJ-09 Red 2012 1200GS - sold 2005 1200GS - sold 2005 650GS - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traverse Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I agree, but with the Corbin heated close to $600, I would guess it can't be much more. Hopefully we will know sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjobart Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I bought a red 2015 FJ-09 from Fox in GR a week ago. I think I am going to love this bike, Bart (Haslett/East Lansing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
