Comparing two FXRs
#12
Durham, you sure it was the same one? Wonder why they couldn't sell it. Gives me some powerful lowball leverage if the bike checks out.

Stock is "worth" more in the end.

Yes i am sure, I know it was on ct craigslist at least since last winter , I remember thinking , I wonder why the tank was replaced. But I thought it was and it is a good looking fxr

It depends on what you're going to do with the bike, once you get it.
If you're planning on leaving the bike completely stock, I'd go with the '90 for the reasons others here have talked about. If you're planning on modifying the engine/suspension, etc, then it doesn't really matter, as long as the frame hasn't been molested.
My '93 was old and tired before I took it all the way down to the frame, and built it back up to my specs. Not every guy has the time/money/motivation to do that. My only criteria for when I first bought the bike was that the frame had to be untouched. Everything else was either rebuildable or replaceable with newer technology parts. Your criteria may be different.

@Bronson, wow, that's sexy. Unfortunately for me, as of now the 1990 has been sold. I'm looking at the 1986 this weekend.
There's also an '86 FXRS that just hit the market, but for more than I'd like to spend. It has the dual disc brakes. Looks like you have the same. Definitely tempting.
