Need Help! Just put a deposit on a Yamaha!!!
Dyna Brethren:
 \\;
As I've said many times, I love to ride, and I love bikes, all kinds, but especially my Street Bob. \\; I've been wanting/looking for \\;a "Touring" bike for some time, but I just don't like the HD's.
 \\;
Well, I just put a deposit on an 08 Yamaha FJR 1300. \\; All black. \\; The closest one I could find is an hour away, so they are holding it for me to pick up this Friday. \\; MSRP is $13,900, but I got it for $14,000 out the door. \\; This bike seems pretty damn sweet, and I've heard nothing but good things about them. Unfortunately, I have yet to roll one. \\; The test drive will be the final step before we finish the deal.
 \\;
Do I need to be talked out of this? \\; Opinions? \\; If I back out, I'll only lose $100.
 \\;
Thanks!!!

I was on a charity ride this past weekend &\\; noticed that of the touring models &\\; the dressed out cruisers, Harley was in the minority. The metrics \\;look nice \\;but they still don't have the Harley attitude. I guess all I can offer is to tell you that I'd do alot of soul searching &\\; determine which I'd be happy with in 6 months ( the $5k or the attitude).

that is your choice. Personally, i would choose to keep the Harley. If I had my way I would have my LowRider and a few rice burners as well.

My Bob ain't going anywhere man. \\; Not a chance. \\; Just looking for a ride with cargo space and a windshield to go long, long distances comfortably. I'll never add bags or glass to my Bob...

Appreciate the remarks, guys. \\; Agree with many. \\; Keep them coming, as this is going to help my decision.
