Yamaha FJR description

I took delivery of this motorcycle in November of 2012, and have enjoyed nearly 44,000 trouble free miles on it, including a  Three Flags Classic rally (Mexico to Canada) and the USA Four Corners Tour. I am an FJR addict and this is my third one, having had  Generation I (2005) and Generation II (2008) models. Why am I selling this Generation III?  Because I just got a new Generation IV 2016 FJR 1300ES model! Although the mileage is higher than many, I know of some FJRs with over 100,00 miles that are still performing faultlessly with no drive-train issues at all.

 The big differences between the Gen II and Gen III models are the addition of standard cruise control and heated grips. Now I don’t know how I got by on my ’05 and ’08 without them! They’re fantastic! ABS and Traction Control are standard also.

 The motorcycle includes the following modifications, upgrades, and accessories:

  1. Powerlet rear outlet hooked directly to battery for battery tending
  2. Fused and switched power distribution block
  3. Gerbing heating clothing connection
  4. Suzuki knuckle guards
  5. Touratech GPS stem mount
  6. Wired for Garmin Zumo 590 and Escort Passport 8500 X50. (The radar detector comes with the bike.)
  7. Superbrace
  8. Magnum Blaster horn
  9. Fenda Extenda
  10. Frame sliders
  11. Modification of the glove box lid so that it opens without the requirement to have electric power on while being in Neutral
  12. Left side exhaust pipe heel guard. (The right side one came standard on Gen IIIs.)

The bike comes with a brand-new stock  rider seat since I moved the seat that I had modified from the ’13 to the ’16. It has been down once, while moving at slow speed in a gravel parking lot. This caused scratches on the right saddlebag and on the right cowl. The Yamaha decal has been lost from both saddle bags. The tires are Metzler R6s installed 8,000 miles ago. The two original keys, the extra lock for the Yamaha top case, tool kit, owner’s manual, and the body inserts for when the bags are not installed are all included.

Bring your Zumo and you’ll have an absolutely complete Sport Touring motorcycle ready for anything for years to come! I’ll see you on the road.

Colin Edwards Joins Forward Racing CRT Squad for 2012

Fri, 02 Sep 2011

Colin Edwards will join the Forward Racing team to compete in the 2012 MotoGP season as a Claiming Rule Team entry. Edwards, known as a good development rider and an even better quote machine, is the first rider to officially sign on with a CRT. Forward Racing may be more familiar to some race fans by its former name, Hayate Racing, the outfit that ran the Kawasaki ZX-RR with Marco Melandri in 2009 after Kawasaki pulled out of MotoGP racing.

No snow here folks!

Fri, 31 Dec 2010

An erratic work schedule combined with a full season of kids racing means, there aren’t many opportunities during the summer months for the Mackenzie family to grab a holiday. Instead, we tend to save our pennies and head off somewhere sunny for Christmas. I love doing this as it shortens the UK winter but more importantly it means I miss the festive frenzy.  I do like Christmas, but I hate how everyone gets caught up in the retail madness that kicks off just before Halloween, then has everyone stressed (and skint)before Santa has even hitched up his sleigh.
