cjbrian Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hey everyone I'm hopefully going to be a FJ09 owner soon. Been shopping for a new bike. Started off looking at a 650 vstrom then found the FJ09 at the dealer and wanted it right away. Think I talked my dealer into a demo ride if not I will be attending a yamaha demo ride the beginning of May. So maybe a new bike soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ULEWZ Posted April 14, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 14, 2015 Good luck with the demo ride. I bought mine based solely on reviews and am not sorry. I am in the valley and a few of us ride most weekends. Would be great if you could join us on a ride when you get yours (positive thinking here!).

pedropat Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Good luck with the demo ride and purchase. I just did a demo ride the other day. I really liked the bike but it's a big change for me being a GSXR track day and ex racer guy. Let us know your OTD price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbrian Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm coming off a vstar 1300 most recent(cruisers aren't for me). Before that a Drz400SM and Versys. I prefer more up right and supermoto style handling bikes. Also want something comfortable for my 6'3" frame on long rides. I'm in Redlands so far Coyne and Chaparral have the lowest advertised price at $8999 but not sure what the otd price will be yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Redlands so far Coyne and Chaparral have the lowest advertised price at $8999 but not sure what the otd price will be yet.$8999 is pretty competitive. DO NO go to Berts. They quoted me about $14k and wanted to give me $4k for my '09 FJR then when I told them that offer was ridiculous they were kind of rude about it, then closed for the day without giving me my helmet back..... anyways - welcome to the site and hope you find your new bike soon!

bigred3 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I also bought mine off the reviews. It's a great bike and suits my needs perfectly (6'4" here BTW) I'm on the Ventura/Los Angeles County line - would love to meet up and ride with other FJ-09 inmates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride past it every Monday and every Friday! If you're ever looking to tag along.....you'll have to try and keep up with the FJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ever looking to tag along.....you'll have to try and keep up with the FJR TO Powersports, yeah right at the 23 and 101. I don't know how well the bloated FJR does in the canyons...but the FJ-09 does just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been in there many times and its nice that they've recently added Triumph. The FJR does surprisingly well in the canyons (sweepers) but in the tighter stuff it really starts to show it's size.... which is considerable. Ill be heading through there tomorrow night!
