I was a day late on the red one :'(
Thanks for the post,
Welcome to the forum Tom! (http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb336/jaywilcox/sakdjiu.gif)
For everybody else out there, please help my brutha out here with his search... (http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb336/jaywilcox/wait.gif)
He's a good dude and close buddy of mine for about 25+ years. Just don't ask him to tell any old stories about me... :-X ;)

Welcome, Tom. You won't go wrong with getting a Connie. Just don't let anyone fool you into thinking you should get anything other than BLACK!!
I've seen some nice deals down here on used ones, but I'm in Texas. A bit out of the way for you.
Hope to hear from you a lot once you get yours (and while you search for one). Let us all know what you find.
-
I'll keep my peeps open, I just hope he isn't brainwashed on the slow black color ;D

Don't listen to SoP Tom, black is the fastest! ;D ;D ;D
WG has it right!! :thumbs:
-
What kinda bullets do vampire slayers use? ;D Ya have Quick Silver, but I've never seen a movie made about quick black, of fast black, although there was a horse movie named the Black Stallion :-* Do light reflectors come in black? Nope, dey be silver, only way ya can catch the rays of light and turn em around :o
-
Tom, welcome to the nut house and hopefully you'll settle for the fastest color....Quick Silver and not Black. Also, word of advice here, stay away from that Jay fellow. He's just too happy for some reason. Bring a sense of humor with you and you'll do well here.
Jim

And don't try to keep up with zg's post count.He'll turn you into a working girl. ;)

Welome Tom!
There's also Black Beauty Chet. But like you say, and we all know, Silver is the fastest. Don't listen to J Tom, you want a Silver Dammit!

Welcome Tom! Good luck in your search for the best (for the money) sport touring bike. I bet if you are patient, you will find a smokin' deal on a bike. Good luck and don't let Jay tell you that you need to buy a black bike to fit in with the "cool kids".
-
Welcome Tom. Its good to have you here. I do know of a few brand new ones here in Utah. Its from a decent dealer as well..

Welcome Tom, good luck on your search. I'm in ILL and will keep an eye out for ya!! But you definitely have to go silver ;D. It is the fastest!!
-
Welcome Tom, great folks here "well most of us". :stirpot: Yes the silver is by far the superior color, and also appears to be cleaner when dirty "ask VirginiaJim". This forum is much more relaxed than the other, and we tend to have fun while trying to help a fellow rider.

Tom welcome aboard...fast black def the way to go! there are about 4 silvers for (08's I believe), here at my local VA dealer...too far for you though.
Oh and yo, Son of pappy: SR-71 baby!! BLACK, SLEEK, and oh yeah.....FAASST.
-
Welcome aboard Tom, this is a very good forum unlike a few others out there. I loved my FJR but those guys are brutal. A lot of help and good info here. That 09 was a steal, and the best color too! Good luck with your quest.
-
Well as you can see Tom, there's lot's of good folks on here, welcome! Keep us posted on your search, if you have any questions at all please post em up, the group here can answer or provide feedback on anything.
Oh, and as Jim said, bring your sense of humor and you'll like this place even more!! :)

$17, 500.... OUCH
Thanks for all for all of the hello's. Y'all sound like a great bunch of guys.
I think I am going to go take a look at this one. What do you think of the price?

They aren't "stripped" they are called "tamper resistant". It is just to bad that even you can't "tamper" with them. ;D
-
Sadly, I got my new bolts in to replace these tamper resistant ones, and I can't get the tamper resistant one out. :banghead:

I wouldnt sneeze at that price, I think ya could do better used, but that is always a gamble. I liked the comfort of buying new so I payed the price, I did all of my buisness via email, worked the price to an acceptable amount, called them about ten minutes after my daughter enlisted in the Army, I asked if I could pick it up that afternoon, they asked, you mean today? Yep, I'll be there at 3, check in hand ;D I am so glad the other dealer didnt want to negotiate on an FJR, he lost more than a sale, he lost my buisness for life, I had only bought 2 bikes from him in the last 2 years. I wonder how much he has lost in sales since then? Brothers Powersports in Bremerton, WA BTW. I suggest avaoiding them, go down the road to Cliffs Cycle, the service manager even rides a 14 ;D
On the color thing, if you get a black one at least ya won't be pulling over to wait on ZG ;D ;D

Make sure to ask them how much the "OTD" (out the door) price is... Sometimes dealers tack on quite a bit to the price they have listed at time of the actual signing... ???

Costco has a deal with Kawasaki, I'm going to see what that is all about too.

Welcome! Color only affects the perception of speed. Now the Candy Neptune Blue is a Babe Bug magnet. However, the color was just too enticing, so they could only offer it for one year. 8)
Are you only looking for new, or is used an option? If you're not concerned about used, then deals will start popping up over the next few months. If you specifically want new, then that's not a bad price. I would think with a little haggling, you may get them to lower it a bit. Also, in the past Kawi has been known to offer discount sales incentives to dealers for left over bikes from prior model years. Weigh that against how badly you want it, and how concerned you get over someone else swooping in and snagging it out from under you.

I do like the comparison, both bikes are nice looking, the 09 is slimmer looking and the 11 has a hungry look. I can tell we are gonna have to hookup and do some rides to put this color thing to rest ;)

The silverdammit owners will be waiting at the next turn. That is just the price we pay for having the fastest bikes. ;D

Don't have a bike that matches lipstick and nails, buy a bike that hides dirt and dust. :stirpot:
