This add showed up Saturday morning in the Road Glide section of EBay:

Well any FXR add interests me so I openend it only to see a Dyna in the photo.

Thought I'd be a nice guy to the Yamaha dealer selling it so I dropped him a note to say that he really should post the bike as a Dyna, not an FXR. I added that except for a couple of custom year models in '99, the FXR was built from '82-'94.

Got a note back thanking me for helping out and that sure enough, the bike should be listed as an FXR 2 (!) The salesman further tells me that he double checked NADA to verify.

Now I'm interested. I write back specifying the tell-tale differences in the bikes, the engine differences, ( there were no 96" FXR's,) the primary is different, the frame is different, etc, etc.

Got back another reply. Thanked me again, and sure enough I was right, and the problem was that they posted the wrong pic for the bike and that they'd take care of it.

So I guess if anyone wants a 'like new' 2011 FXR 2 with 2,000 miles on it, Surdyke Yamaha can set you right up.

I should learn to mind my own business....

 

Yeah, eBay is flooded with Dynas posted as FXR's . I have given up even searching for used FXR's unless I specifically include the model year . :/

 

I bought my (barely) used 2007 FXD last year from a Harley dealer and they listed it as an FXR. It was a good sized (now under new name and ownership) dealership in central Oregon. I guess good ad help is hard to find, but they were great people to deal with. The mislisting didn't matter to me.

 

Surdyke is also a HD dealer - cheap parts too.

 

I know, and a sponsor here too.

It was the Yamaha store, but I figured someone would have caught it.

Found it curious that they wouldn't have sold it at the Harley store to begin with.

 

Don't tell us. Complain to ebay. They refuse to separate Dyna's and FXR's.
