You all didn't seriously think I could buy my wife a '13 NCX and then continue to ride my old outdated '08 FJR for any extended period of time. It was all part of a bigger scheme.
Just pulled the trigger on the new and improved '14 FJR1300 ES today. Now standard with heated grips, electronic cruise, dual drive modes, traction control and electronic adjustable suspension hence ES model designation. Available in any color you want for 2014...as long as it's Candy Red.
Should be here in about a week. Dealer has to get it from the warehouse.
Will be putting my '08 up for sale sometime in the future once I move some/most of the farkles to the new bike. Russell seat, 2 Bros exhaust and a bunch of other stuff will fit the new one.
For you numbers people, here are the stats, pretty much unchanged from my '08:
Measured horsepower: 126.0 bhp @ 8100 rpm
Measured torque: 86.8 lb.-ft. @ 6400 rpm
Corrected 1/4-mile: 10.82 sec. @ 122.47 mph
Top-gear roll-on 60-80 mph: 3.66 sec.
Fuel mileage (hi/low/avg.): 45/33/40 mpg
It will look very much like this...but not for long. Needed a winter project anyhow.
