Any new upgrades?

Enjoyed the video immensely! I’m almost 60 and am currently riding a Ninja 1000SX. Had been almost embarrassed to admit this grandfather still enjoys riding the crotch-rockets,so was happy to find other like minded enthusiasts! Subscribed!!

Hi I have question for you: when the engine is hot (normal driving temp), did you hear any difference in its engine sound when squeezing the clutch lever? For some reason, mine does give the strange sound, when squeezing it, the engine sounds smooth but when release it fully (in neutral), I can hear the engine sounds a little rough and vibrates. Is yours like that too? Mine is 2023 ES just like yours, we bought almost at the same time :) I took it to the dealer where I bought it from, they said it is normal which I do not think so. I called Yamaha, and they made a notation about my report. If yours sounds the same, then perhaps it is normal, although I do not like to hear/feel it when the engine runs. From cold to warm, no issues. Only when it is hot . Thank's.

Ill be gettojg my first sportbike next year after im released after quad tendon repair surgery

Hope all is well and please MORE VIDEOS! 😁

hope you keep making videos.

I’m 61 years old and i love ride my zx10r

Are you kidding? By 55 I'll probably be getting an Aprilia or a Ducati after the SV650 I just bought. Riding is awesome. Do it while you can and enjoy it.

The answer is no. At six foot and two hundred and sixty pounds, the answer is no. I bought the twenty twenty one when the new generation came out, and I returned it back to the dealership for something else in about five days. The answer is no

Amazing ride. I am currently looking at purchasing one.

Don’t feel bad I’m 47 and all I own is crotch rockets, 3 R1’s and I’m going to continue to ride till I can’t, I even got right hip surgery and I rode my R1 yesterday for the first time this summer, it felt uncomfortable but I was happy.

Im 57 got a 2004 zx10r the best year no Electronics. Just you and the bike. I

I'm 40 and haven't rode a sports bike in about 15 years. I wanted something more comfortable. Tried a Harley for awhile but like you said i also thought it was boring. I now have a MT09 which is a lot of fun and very comfortable but now im itching for more power. Im also over the wind when going fast on a naked bike. Maybe i will give the zx10 a try after watching this video.

60 y/o and looking to get on a zx6, zx10 too much bike for me personally.

Just bought mine 2 weeks ago, so far I love more each time I ride it. Just got 850 Kms on it, trying to decide on which pipe to get.

Man that highway run was awesome.

I love my FJR. One of my favorite things about it, is the sound it makes when it's sucking air in.

I am 74...I want one...!!!

Got mine a month ago ❤

I love my 2023 FJR!

In the pipelina

Un petit bonjour de France !🇫🇷 Depuis mes 20 ans (aujourd’hui 35), je ne roule que sur hypersport quasiment… J’ai possédé 2 zx10r, la 2004 et la 2012. Le modèle de 2023 est vraiment un rêve que j’attends de pouvoir me payer

I got you beat by a bit and I have my 2024 zx10 . Only 66 miles. Does hurt my neck a bit tho.

I still have my 04' FJR with 40,000 on the clock. I have kept it superbly maintained over the years, with no issues. I have completed many multi-state tours over the years; no other bike compares on the open road...And I have owned 8 other bikes over the years and getting ready to start looking for a newer model FJR, a 2016 or newer with electronic suspension, throttle-by-wire-, heated grips and cruise control. I will keep my 04' as a back-up bike and as a loaner for my oldest kid when we do road trips together! Cheers! ~ Jonesy ~

Has had lots of bikes, but wears no gear, smart. Removable "hardbacks"?

Congrats on your new FJR! I have a GEN I, 2004, with 40,000 on the clock. Absolutely the best bike I have ever owned (and I currently own four). I have done MANY multi-state tours on this beast. She is comfortable, carry's a lot of cargo for long trips, fuel efficient, extremely reliable and wicked fast. Great in the twisty's and comfortable on long straights. I am upgrading to a new FJR very soon and will keep this one as a back-up bike.

I am thinking this bike maybe too high on the seat for a guy like me at 5"9". I like to flat foot a bike. What do you say.

I just bought one 2 days ago a "17 with 14k miles, mint. I like the fact it uses regular gas. And yea its super fun bike. Cruise control is super nice too. Stay safe man.

They don’t have it in automatic being shaft drive

My scatpack would destroy you

Good video. What camera setup you using?

I'm also having a midlife crisis at 42. I'm very undecided between a 2024 ZX10R, S1000RR or GSXR (new one with digital display). I do agree that the ZX10R is very comfortable compared to the BMW. Never sat on the GSXR though and I don't like the 'GSXR gangster squid image'. I did notice that in my country, the insurance is cheaper for the BMW while the service is cheaper for the Kawa. Did you also compare these bikes in depth before purchase or did you simply gravitate to the Kawa? Happy after 9 months?

I'm 58 , still ride the ZX-10 R and do trackdays too...Congrats. on the new bike ...you made the right choice you are not too old, and that is a fine bike...it will be all you need...enjoy...!

And on the 7th day God created the FJR1300.

I’ve got a 2006 zx10. After 2006, I feel like Kawasaki must’ve hired Batman into the R&D team.

Like you said, I'm surprised this doesn't get more attention. I saw one parked for the first time a couple of weeks ago and had to swing back by to take a look at it and love the way it looks. Leading me to this video as a potential purchase in the future!

I’m only about 28. my opinion is, ride what makes you happy while you still can. There might come a day where your back or your knees go bad which takes that option away. Get the most out of riding while you can, I say.

Another great thing about Yamaha's are the service intervals. Most of their bikes, FJR included, have long valve check intervals of 26,000 miles (42,000 kms). Took an FJR for a test ride a few years ago during Yamaha's Spring Demo days. The FJR felt like it was riding on rails, beautiful bike and on my shopping list for 2024. Congratulations on your new FJR. 🍻

Great video! I just picked up a 2024 FJR ES 1300, and like you I've owned many bikes and I work on them myself! I also own a 1990 Yamaha VMax 1200, and a Custom 1998 Suzuki 1500 LC. I'm beyond "The Mid Life Crisis" I'm 69 LOL. The 2024 is the same color as yours! My feedback on this Bike is: I was going to purchase a BMW GT 1600, but I decided on the FJR! Good move, not as expesive as the BMW, but I believe the Yamaha to be more reliable! I've owned all the Japenese brands including Yamaha snowmobiles, watercraft, and ATV's, and i swear by them! From riding the FJR (Still breaking it in) I'm very impressed with all of the features! Sport or Touring Mode, Cruise Control, Traction control, Integrated Braking, Ant-Lock braking, Heated Grips, Electric Windshield, Adjustable Handlebars, Seight height Adjustment, Adjustable Clutch and Brake Levers, LED Headlights that look around corners, full information screen including outside air temp, engine coolant temp, and electronically adjustable suspension. I'm not used to all of these goodies, but I'm liking them! The Bike rides like nothing I've ever ridden! It's smooth awesome power! It rides like The Perfect Motorcycle, corners beautifully, 6 Speed transmission is awesome! Be careful when you put it into "Sport Mode" it surprized me when I first gave it a slight twist of the throttle, the front wheel went airborne. I got a big kick out of that! LOL Enjoy the ride! Life is short! God Bless!

I’m on my second FJR. My first was 2005 that I rode to 100k miles, and then upgraded to a 2014 ES, which currently has 70k miles on it. I’ll probably never sell this bike. There were many improvements made between the 2005 First Gen and the 2014 3rd Gen. And having the Electronic Suspension is fantastic. Cruise control is something I didn’t think I needed, but have come to love. Fly by wire drive modes are nice as it makes riding smooth easier, or switch to sport for the hooligan rides. My First Gen was an ABS, but the 3rd Gen ABS is superior (panic situation tested). Aerodynamics and heat control is much better on the later model years. The sexy “ticket me red” of the 2014 has unfortunately lived up to its name a few times. But I’m getting older and slower and still enjoy riding it just as much. Having owned the First Gen, I knew right away what mods that *I* needed to make the bike all day, weeks at a time, comfortable: A custom seat from Russell Daylong, a set of bar risers from HeliBars, and a set of highway pegs to fit on my T-Rex crash bars make all the difference. I’m also tall, so the seat stays in the high position and I have a tall Cee Bailey wind screen on it, but I understand those are NLA. I’ve never had a bit of trouble with either of the two FJRs. Just rock hard reliable. 3rd valve check coming up, which will probably be the first adjustment required. I’ll do it myself. Not all that hard to do if you are at all mechanically inclined. And the regular 5k mile oil change services are easy peasy. By the way, I did order all the internal parts to install the 2016+ slipper clutch into my 2014. I like it, but it wasn’t earth shaking. I see no need for a 6th gear. That was mostly a marketing move by Yamaha. I wouldn’t come anywhere near redline in 5th gear at 155mph (which I’d never do) What do I need another gear for?

55 and just started riding one year ago. Time for a litre bike.

hell yeah!

Absolutely agree. I have a rare Red 2014 FJR1300A And as soon as it gets warm here In Western NY., I am trading her in for either a 2023ES or a 2024ES can't wait my bike has 29000 miles with no major problems. looks just as good as the day I bought her.

try mt07 its fun...

53 and picked up my 2022 14R up. Ride often and keep it on two.

I'm adding my name to the list of people that are so happy to hear you bought this at your age. I'm 52 and had all different bikes the past 3 years. Didn't ride for 20 years before this mid life crisis. Lol. Just went out a few weeks ago and bought a new leftover 2022 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS. That is the closest thing I can make myself get to a cruising bike. Screw it we gotta enjoy life. Congrats 👍🏽

New bike it cool🎉

Love my ‘23. Best addition by far though was a Corbin seat. Night and day difference

55 this year and really considering 2024 ZX-10R.
