Review Q&A honda fjr1300
How can we install an automatic transmission on a motorcycle?
There are a few automatic motorcycles. My Dad's friend had a Honda 400 automatic back in the 80's, Moto Guzi made an automatic and I think there was one other, but I can't remember what it was. It's not generally possible to convert a standard motorcycle into an automatic. Here; I found a list of automatic, or quazi-automatic motorcycles: Some are currently being manufactured and others are only available used. Some do away with the clutch and require shifting while others are fully automatic. Some are true automatic transmissions, some auto clutching and others are CVT (Continuously Variable Transmissions.) Others are/were available as straight drive or automatics.

Which one is better, the 2018 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited or the 2018 Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT? Which one is better overall?
Interesting you’re talking the 2018 Gold Wing, because that’s the year of major changes in both the motorcycle and the Gold Wing style. First off, what has remained reasonably the same: The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide remains what it has always been - a comfortable, mileage gobbling cruiser that’ll take you on 5–700 mile days down the Interstate, and given a good night’s sleep, will have you ready to repeat the following day. And the following day. And a hell of a lot of days after that. Yes, over the years the Glide has seen updates and improvements. Yet, if you go from a blockhead (aka, Evo, 1984–1998) thru the fathead (Twin Cam) into the current model engined bikes, you’re going to feel a very gentle evolution. The old bike will feel remarkably similar to the current model. More electronics, better reliability, partial water cooling . . . . . . but when you come down to it, a Glide is a Glide is a Glide. The Gold Wing is a bit different. Keeping within roughly the same model years (1984 to today), starting with the old GL1500 you had a bike that was a quiet, behaved Electra Glide. Comfortable, reliable, made for the Interstate, not really all that great for the twisty back roads unless you were willing to stay to a careful level of speed. Just like an Electra Glide. In 2000 that changed with the GL1800. Now you took that Electra Glide level of comfort, superior Honda reliability (sorry folks, you do spend more on maintenance on a Harley, but anyone trying to turn that statement into saying a Harley is unreliable is a damned liar), and added something at the beginnings of sport bike performance. A GL1800, for all it’s 950+ pounds of weight will stay alongside the best sport tourers that BMW, the Japanese, and Triumph can built. Yes, it’s still big, heavy, occasionally ponderous (especially starting out and having to do an immediate 90 degree turn in either direction before picking up speed), but it’s both fun on the back roads and comfortable on I-95. For 2018 Honda redesigned the GL1800 Gold Wing. Ohmyfuckinggod!!!!! Both the 2000–2017 and 2018 bikes have the same name. They both have six cylinder opposed water cooled engines. That’s all they have in common. (I really believe Honda should have tweaked the bore and/or stroke to legitimately call the bike the GL1900, that’s how different they are.) The Honda Gold Wing does not play with the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide anymore. It plays with BMW’s line of sport tourers, whatever new crazies Moto Guzzi is coming up with, or the Triumph Sprint, and especially the Yamaha FJR1300. The bike is smaller, faster, about 200 pounds lighter. It’s no longer the plush ‘couch on the Interstate’ so beloved by 65 year old motorcycle tourers. This bike is being marketed to the 40–45 crowd. It’s available with either a 6-speed manual transmission, or a 7-speed dual clutch automatic with manual option. It works perfectly. I hate it. Sorry folks, I firmly believe that God always intended cars to come with three pedals, and motorcycles with two levers. Downsides? The bags are smaller, the gas tank is smaller, and the seat for two is both smaller and less plush. Just like any good sport tourer. Honda, not weighed down with the corporate reputation, was able to completely trash the Gold Wing with something new. Harley-Davidson is somewhat forced to keep the gentle evolution going - and unfortunately all those loyal Harley owners who’d scream the loudest are getting too old to buy many more motorcycles. And the younger crowd who’s interested in riding isn’t interested in Harley-Davidson because of that old image. Rock, meet Hard Place. So what did I end up riding? Last June I decided to plunk down the credit rating against what is going to be my Last New Motorcycle. The bike that, God and errant deer willing, will last me until I’m too old to throw a leg over the bike - even with a sidecar attached. As I’m a couple of weeks shy of my 68th birthday as I write this, I’m looking at something that’s gotta be comfortable for me for the next 10–15 years, maybe 20 if I’m lucky. Which is why, despite having some good ideas of what Honda was doing, I used my employee’s discount to pick up the last remaining previous generation GL1800 our store had sitting on the showroom floor (2016 Level 2,black and grey with no chrome was a big plus for me - overchromed Harleys look good in my eyes, overchromed Gold Wings, not so much). I knew the sport tourer version would work well for me now (if I was just buying for the next 5 years, I’d have an FJR1300 instead), but what would it feel like at 78? Or 83? Or 88? (Don’t laugh, my late wife and I had to take her father’s 29 Indian 101 Scout away from him at age 89 because he wasn’t safe anymore, but wouldn’t quit riding.) OK, I’ve nattered on halfway forever. tl;dr: For 2018, which one is better? It depends. If you want to do your 500 mile days comfortably cruising the Interstate, get the Harley. If your significant other demands Barcalounger comfort in the pillion saddle, get the Harley. However, if you want to scream the back roads, as breaks from those droning days on I-95, if you want to ride The Dragon at something better than half tilt, consider a full face helmet a necessary part of motorcycle riding, and believe in either Aerostitch or First Gear textile riding suits over leather . . . . . believe me, you want the Honda. ADDENDUM: Or so I thought. Please see my followup note to this article, written two years later. I traded that Gold Wing on a Electra Glide Ultra Classic.
Do cops ever do wheelies on their bikes?
In case of most North American jurisdictions, not very likely. Pulling a wheelie on a 380 kg (838 pounds) Harley Davidson Electra Glide is very hard, if not impossible. Other common police motorcycles can wheelie relatively easily and it can happen by accident. Yamaha FJR1300: BMW R1200RT: Honda VFR800: However, since "popping a wheelie" is illegal in many jurisdictions, cops who do it would be breaking the law they are paid to enforce.
Why do police officers ride motorcycles?
Lots of reasons: In the past it was cheaper than a patrol car today with the super expensive bikes like the FJR1300 and all the equipment they cost more than police Ford Focuses. Today it’s to get around cities quickly. Cities are gridlocked and heavy with traffic so police vans and cars can’t get to incidents quickly. A motorbike can improve first responder times considerably. A motorcycle is quicker and more manoeuvrable than a car and your FJR1300 can catch up to pretty much ANY car under £50,000 on the road. They're also more versatile for providing escorts for parades, funerals, VIP vehicles, etc. They are however being slowly phased out. Manchester (UK) phased out all their ST1300s when a police officer was killed escorting another car. Honda tested the bike and found no flaws. The police had overloaded it. As a result there are only two bike cops in Manchester (I know them both).
What model would rate as the world's best Police Motorcycle?
Ever — probably the Honda ST1100. Reliable, comfortable and properly rapid for its era. Today — straight fight between the Yamaha FJR1300 and BMW R1200RT. Personally, I rate the FJR.
Why haven't Honda and Yamaha produced their own 1400cc class sport bikes like the Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki ZX14R?
Yamaha has the FJR1300 and Honda the STX1300. Those bikes fall into the same class.
What is the best overall motorcycle? Safe, fast, comfortable, cool--everything in one package
Much as it pains me to say it… but the Honda NC700 series. Honda NC700 series - Wikipedia, This includes the 750 versions and variations. On paper it’s junk. 50% less horse power than a bike sold 15 years ago. 25% more weight than a bike sold 15 years ago. There is even a joke NC = No character. Except it’s safe with great brakes. It doesn’t vibrate as the engine is well balanced. It’s super economical. It’s very quiet. You can buy an automatic version that is even better on fuel. The DS models look like a futuristic scooter. It is EURO3 compliant. It’s got a huge thick seat and lots of built in storage. The 55bhp is enough for go to prison speeds. It’s got wide bars with a upright seating position. It totally lacks any sort of character and it’s kind of like a Toyota Yaris or Corolla of the motorbike world it makes so much sense! But I wouldn’t buy one. Yet while my back hurts or my knee hurts from the cramped position on my pointy powerful bike. I see NC750 riders have no such issues. The character option would be the FJR1300 It’s everything the NC700 series is: But it has 100bhp more. It can hustle on twisty roads as it’s got a stiff frame and fairly good suspension. It’s much thirstier. It’s much heavier. It costs a lot to maintain. I can’t ride the FJR1300 as the seat is just far too wide for me :/
Can you show the photo of your own motorcycle?
Does anyone own just one motorcycle? Here’s my current ones. There are several more in my shed, but they belong to my kids. 1956 BSA Goldstar DBD34. I bought it for $700 in 1969. It was a desert rat-bike. This is the second time I’ve restored it. 1974 CZ Enduro. I got the rolling chassis for $100 and I’ve added a 380cc MX engine. It’s fierce. And it needs a good front brake. This is a 2003 Yamaha FJR1300. I bought it from a dying friend with 104,000mi on it. It has 135,000 on it now and still runs great. The tail trunk is adapted from an early Goldwing. I stiffened up the suspension….otherwise it’s stock. 1960 Jawa 250cc Sport. It was mostly restored when I bought it. It has a double-leading-shoe front brake from a Honda (I think), but it needs a better front brake too. The “Sport” means it has the 22hp motor instead of the standard 18hp. I upgraded the electrics. This is a semi-rare 1974 Jawa ISDT competition model with a 360cc engine. I tore my achilles tendon kick starting it. It’s got lots of power and will run with freeway traffic. It’s an unusual engine design. The engine/transmission case is a single piece cast of magnesium. The crank is inserted from the left and the transmission internals are inserted from the right. Don’t know why everybody doesn’t do it that way. 2005 BMW K1200S. I bought it to replace the FJR, but my wife says the passenger seat is to small. It’s a 180mph rocket ship. Notice the unusual Hotchkiss front fork. It handles well, but it’s very stiffly sprung. This is turn 4B at Willow Springs. I’m on my 1995 Aprilia RS250. I also used it as a commuter with a tail trunk. A great handling bike. Top speed 125mph. It’s power band is only from 8000rpm to 11500rpm. Peak is 60hp. 1991 Yamaha WR250 at Milestone MX part (on the old-guys track). 1984 Honda CR480 as L.A. County Raceway.
What determines when a police vehicle is no longer able to be used for police work?
On a big famous auction site that has the letters E and Bay in it. The key determinant in when a police vehicle is retired and sold off is when they approach their major service points (read expensive). If they had in-house technicians then this might be their 2nd or 3rd major service point. For example: When police used VFR800 VTECs they would get rid of them at 25950 miles if they had no in-house maintenance team. 26000 miles is when you had to adjust the VTEC valves. Honda used to charge £800 to check and adjust the valves. They require a handful of specialist tools you can only buy from Honda (people like me make the tools :D). So there were lots of police ones sold just before needing this major service. The same thing with the FJR1300. It requires a minor service every 12000 miles and a major one at 24000. One of which involves the suspension linkage. It needs to be greased properly and to do this you need to take off a ton of bodywork to do it. A lot of shady dealers charge for the 24000 mile service but don’t actually do it. You can of course miss this service safely till about 37000 miles. At which the part that hasn’t been greased starts to wear out and by 40,000 miles has worn so much that you can’t simply grease it you have to replace it. You can still ride it for another 10000 miles before it wears out completely. At 48000 miles the bikes are of course retired from service and sold on to the public. Police cars on the other hand being modified mass produced (compared to bikes) their major service points are longer and the parts are often cheaper due to mass manufacture. Police patrol cars like Volvo T5s could go 300K+ They were retired because the chassis and engine mounts would start to become work and crack.
What motorcycle would you buy if it was going to be your last bike, and would need to serve all your riding needs for the remainder of your life?
I wrote an answer back in October 2018. It’s still here. But there’s also an addendum that changes everything: I did that back in June 2017. I’d promised myself one last NEW motorcycle that I intended to keep until I could no longer hold the bike up myself, then have my mechanic install a sidecar and see how much long I could keep going. That, plus 2–3 older used bikes for playing around should keep me going for the rest of my riding career. While I have a long history of owning Triumphs and Harley-Davidsons, I’ve also worked for the last fifteen years for the local Honda/Yamaha/Can-Am/Sea-Doo dealer, so I figured it might be nice to own something that had been putting food on the table and keeping a roof over my head all that time. I picked up a brand new 2016 Honda Gold Wing, level 2, in black and grey with absolutely no chrome other than the valve cover trim strips, that we had sitting on the showroom floor. Why a Gold Wing? There’s a number of reasons behind my thinking: Symbolically, it marked the end of my patch wearing biker days. Yeah, there’s still a Harley in the garage, but my last club ended 10 years ago, and, at 68, I’m a bit old for that life anymore. I wanted an old man’s bike. If I was buying for today, I’d be looking at a Yamaha FJR1300, a Triumph Sprint, maybe a Honda Africa Twin or Triumph Tiger. But what’s comfortable at 68 may not be at 78, or (God willing) 88. I was looking for something completely laid back for me now, that would be manageable 10+ years now. And yes, that’s why I passed on the new, current, generation Gold Wing, although I knew it was coming out and had followed whatever information Honda was letting out at the time. I knew the new one was going to be another FJR1300 and then some. Not what I wanted. I needed the possibility of a conversion in the future. Preferably a sidecar (I’m a traditionalist), but would consider a trike. I like to ride long. I’m not beyond deciding a want a beer (Yuengling draft) at my favorite bar (the Tradewinds in St. Augustine, FL) some evening. So, I get on the bike and ride. It’s only a bit over 600 miles. Grab a motel room for the night and head back home the next day. So far, so good. Given the weight of the Wing, it took me about eight months to really get comfortable with it, but the ride to Daytona Bike Week this past March convinced me I bought the right bike. Yeah, I look at bit odd rolling into the hardcore biker bars. I’ll get over it. Addendum written in October 2019 - a year later: The 2016 Gold Wing is gone. I traded it in this past June. I kept the bike two years, 12,000 miles and did two long trips with it. One to Pittsburgh International Speedway in August of 2017, the second to Daytona Bike Week in March 2018. Did a good bit of nice one day rides, usually around 200 miles apiece, used it as my main commuter (especially in the winter) for my final year and a half at the Honda shop, and gave it the most time of the three bikes in my garage in that two year period. I probably rode about 10,000 miles a year during those two years, between the three bikes. And the Gold Wing and I never jelled. At all. June of 2018, I was still as self conscious and nervous as I was back in July of 2016. Oh, on the Interstate, cruise control locked in at 75mph, Ozzie’s Boneyard channel on SiriusXM, it was nice. Comfortable, but not as comfortable as my T3 Triumphs had been on the same trips. Back roads, windy stretches taking into account it was OK, but just OK. I’m no screaming sport bike rider, but given what the bike is supposedly capable of, I never really felt confident about pushing the bike. And in anything resembling stop and go, commuter traffic, the bike was downright horrible. Yeah, it’s a big dresser. I had a Yamaha Venture Royale before the Wing, so I know what a dresser is capable of. Late June, the wife and I are coming back from the Ashland, VA Strawberry Festival and she suggests we drop by Richmond Harley Davidson to look around. She hits the t-shirts and jewelry and I’m looking at the used bikes they’ve got on offer. One slightly piques my interest. A 2011 Electra Glide Ultra Classic, a few bits of Screaming Eagle aftermarket on it (pipes, of course) but the bike is essentially stock looking. 17,000 miles on it. The salesman asks me if I’d like to take it out. Yeah, I’m curious. He wheels it outside, I let him know my planned route (north on I-95 to Bowling Green, then US301 and back roads back to the shop, distance of about 40 miles). Within five miles my only thought was, “Why didn’t you buy one of these in the first place?” By the time I got back to the shop, I’d decided that I needed to swap bikes. Now. The riding position was better (yes, I like forward controls as long as I”m not too stretched out), the handling was nice, most importantly the Glide was basically giving me the feeling that, “you’ll never get in over your head” which the Wing definitely did not pass on to me. Within 24 hours, the trade was done. I pretty much even swapped a 2016 Gold Wing with 12,000 miles on it for a 2011 Electra Glide with 17,000 (gives you the idea of resale on a Gold Wing compared to a Harley - yes I doubled checked the figures myself with other sources before closing the deal), and I’m much happier with the new bike. That Gold Wing will go down as one of only two motorcycles I’ve ever owned that I just didn’t get along with (the other was a 1996 Kawasaki ZX-6R which taught me how little I know about riding). Regrets? About the only one is that I could have actually retired from the shop about a year earlier than I did had a bought a used Harley instead of a new Honda.
