[QUOTE="art miller, post: 919705, member: 19411"] Interesting comments regarding the '12 model. I've had two FJR's and I will not buy another until Yamaha gets its act together and makes the following improvements. Optional bar risers, electronic cruise control, taller windscreen, 6sp trans, grip warmers, tire pressure monitors, mirrors that give a clear rear view, and external power supply outlet. There is no excuse for not having most of these features. You can get some of them on the Concourse and the price is competitive with the current FJR. Why do we have to buy all this after market shit? What is the problem getting a 6sp trans on the new FJR? They have it on other models. With 145hp a 6 Sp overdrive would provide much better MPG. I have a Lexus es350 with 268hp weighing 3600lbs. At 70mph it is turning 2000rpm and plenty of power on varied terrain. If you check the HP to WT ratio, the FJR could easily handle normal riding with a 6 gear overdrive. What do you accomplished riders say? [/QUOTE]
