[QUOTE="CODan, post: 332290, member: 6123"] I'm not making a decision based on 1 test, though the test seems to have been well done. But I recall reading threads & posts with concerns about the FJR braking. The NHTSA report tells me that in comparison to an VFR and BMW R, when lightly loaded, at 80 mph (~129 kph) the FJR takes about 8 or 9 meters farther to stop, 25 to 30 feet more approximately. But of course this is 03/04 info. 25 feet more at 60 mph could easily spell the difference between sweat and blood. [/QUOTE]
