My New Bike - 2007 Yamaha FJR

Although I loved my Yamaha FJ1200, it is not a great rally bike. So with future rallies in mind, in October I purchased a gently used 2007 Yamaha FJR 1300 with 3300 miles.  Imported the bike from Kentucky which saved me about $3,000.  Unfortunately, while trailering the bike back to Canada, I hit a deer near Lima, Ohio with our relatively new 2007 Toyota Sienna....ouch.  My 4th deer collision!



Over the next several months I will be upgrading the FJR to make the perfect Long Distance Machine.
