Absolutely,

I've had my 2004 for 1 1/2 years and it is the best sprt-touring bike I've
ever owned.  I previously had a Kawakasi Concours and a Honda ST1300.

Na its as bad as I know it is ...suzuki power get a real bike like a suzuki

Don't listen to idiots who don't know bikes and make negative comments. This
is advice from a real FJR owner. This bike is hot and is not a commonly seen
bike on the road. When people see this bike they really drowl over it and
many people can't help themselves and make conversation with you to ask a
million questions. This bike has alot of power and will surprise you when
you ride it. I have researched 6 years for a good sport touring bike and
this definetely beat the BMW and Ducati I compared it with.The Honda ST1300
is nice bike also but the darn thing weighs too much. The weight for the FJR
(Fast Japanese Rocket) is manageable. Once you get used to this bike there
is no letting go. My 2005 FJR was the best purchase I ever made for a
motorcycle. Many friends are already jealous. Do the research on your own
and you will see what I mean. Purchase the bike and you will not regret it
at all. By the way they just raised the prices on this bike for the same
2005 model I own. The value on my bike went up after I bought it. Now is
that rare or what.
