2006 Yamaha FJR1300 review from Canada
"Nice, if you like big heavy bikes, this is one of the best!"
General comments?
Great bike for 2-up riding, and still sporty enough to be still be fun to ride for a large bike!
But the EFI fueling glitch off idle is brutal, and the transmission is out of a gravel truck! In this day and age and for the price, no excuse for it!
Otherwise, a fun bike to ride for something this large. If it had the finesse of my VFR, it would be a perfect large 2 up bike! It doesn't.
