Great looking bike, are you saying that it is a 1999 (17 years old)?

I almost bought one like this several years ago, it is an FXR2 isn't it. I eventually did get one and made a little hot rod bike out of, then came down with a case of stupids and sold it.

Yep, FXR2. Its interesting, Im finding that anyone who owned a FXR and sold it, end up deeply regretting it. Ive ridden it to work the last two days and can't get enough of it.

Congrats. I pretty much live on my '92. I know what you mean about not being able to get enough of it. I commute every day on mine and it's always tough to shut it off. Just want to keep on riding. The evo has a feel all it's own. If I had to keep one bike it would be my FXR. Enjoy.

Lol, that's my '09 Fat Bob. My youngest son and I have been messing with it, painting..adding part..etc. since it was new when he was 5. It's got a lot of meaning for me for that reason and I just like seeing it. Everything else I have is fairly stock so thought I'd put up something different. I'm a bit spoiled for choice these days although the Ironhead is still in project form.

Haven't owned a car since moving to CA in 2003 so my bikes see a lot of miles...I'm happy to spread it around a bit, but the evo just feels the best. I wish it wasn't the case as there are fewer left on the road as the years go on.

Here's the beauty...
