captbadass94 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hey everyone I just joined up because I'm looking at buying a 2015 fj-09 with less than 4000 miles a couple of small modification (new bigger windshield, better brake light,and new shorty lever)and she's in great condition I've talked the guy down to $7300 US. Just curious if anyone has any advice or warnings I loved riding it and am worried I might be rushing into it because of that. Thanks for any help.

caferacer Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 As long as it's a legal sale with a clear title you can't go wrong, it's made in Japan and hence will probably be running way longer than any of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like my minds made up can't wait to finalize it. You won't regret it, the FJ-09 is a very fun bike, and does a lot of things well. Good luck hunting, and if you have any questions, just come and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frdoc Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Best bike, in the world! There are of course sport bikes that are faster, cruisers that are more plush, touring bikes with more amenities, etc. You will hear that there are a few bikes that do all things well, this is the only one I know does all (street) things VERY well. The only reason I would trade my 2015 would be if I heard they were going to stop making FJ's and I would want to have the last model year so I could be sure that I would never be without. Do the right thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carey Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Buy it, you won't regret it. I just picked up a red '15 leftover, and I'm selling my other two bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member martyl Posted October 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2016 Look around this forum and get your wallet ready. Lots of great ideas for add ons. My favorite and least expensive... Mirror Extenders. A must have IMHO.... A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Depends on what you want your riding experience to be and maybe some of where you want to ride. My experience is, it is my fav bike and I've had some R1200GS's, Mutlistradas, Hyperstrada etc. My first Yamaha and I really really like it.

Premium Member alejandro Posted October 26, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 26, 2016 @pazzo , I bought the FJ-09 after riding both a (new) Hyper and a (previous-gen) Multi, and I've ridden my friend's GS. I sort of feel like if I had both a Hyper and a Multi, then I would have the FJ covered. Hyper for town and tight twisties, Multi for everything else, and if one was in the shop I could use the other. But if I'm limiting it to one bike, the FJ is better overall than either the Multi or the Hyper. (And more fun and more reliable etc.) (Not sure why I'm limiting it to one bike...) If you have a moment, I'd be curious to hear your comparisons of Hyper and Multi and FJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
