[QUOTE="Goodman4, post: 1226054, member: 28933"] Congrats on the FJR XL! That is identical to mine in color and year. Was close to the mileage when I got it last year, but that's long passed as I'm sure yours will be too. I bought mine for my wife on our long distance 2-up trips like a lot of others, but it keeps surprising me how well it handles. I know you're joking about being as fast as the FJR, unless you've never had it over 5K RPMs. But as to the sport touring, I have to say she is only wearing a fat girl disguise on the twisties. I just rode my wing to NC again and pushed her really hard going down Moonshiner 28 from Franklin to Highlands and she didn't respond noticeably different than my FJR on those curves. I have to shift my weight or I'll scrape, but I have to do that on the FJR, too. The age thing is crap. The acceleration is the reason to love the FJR. If we were all about image, we'd all have Harley's right? Old Paul [/QUOTE]
