    SEVENTY K? MILES, not Kliks? I would think it's pretty well used up. I would look into the availability of engine overhaul parts (and their cost) and then decide.

    There are FJRs out there with twice that mileage and more. I have an 05 and it is the best all around motorcycle I have ever owned. As always, reliability is in direct proportion to preventive maintenance. Search this link for everthing you every wanted to know about the FJR and more.

    If you can get it for $2000 or less I would jump. That is still a great deal even if you have to buy a used engine and replace all suspension bearings.
