The Dukes of Flatbush have a number of bikes on the road. We publish “Stable Reports” to highlight the heavy metal.

This 2003 Yamaha FJR1300 is known as the Silver Surfer and the Grey Ghost. It’s my father’s bike, but I’ve managed to hold onto it for a few years. I’ve taken this bike across the entire Southwest and Eastern seaboard. It’s very comfortable for two, holds a lot of luggage and hauls serious ass. It’s definitely not a bike for beginners - it’s very heavy (over 600lbs) and has somewhere around 160HP. I’ve taken it up to 160MPH in the desert and it still had room to go. More surprisingly, I once floored it off a light and promptly pulled a wheelie - with luggage on the back! Anyway, you get the picture. Tread lightly. A friend of mine is buying this bike from my father so I’m sorry to see it go, but we’re keeping it in the family. A good thing…
