[QUOTE="Salish1300, post: 1209132, member: 87827"] Still getting to know this forum and so sorry to have placed this in the wrong place. Different forums handle "generic" topics in different ways. Another thing that really stands out to me about the FJR Is how low the balance point seems to be. Like Saddletramp said, it feels like it's on a rail. Even when I do my parking lot practice, which I do regularly but just started on this new bike, I notice how confidently and smoothly I can execute my figure 8's. And this on wet pavement with only the OEM tires. I'm not going to impress anyone with my radius, but I can certainly exceed the testing requirements already. My Versys felt much more top heavy, despite being 200 lbs lighter, and somehow tighter or more resistant. I don't have sliders or anything yet, so I am not too eager to push to the limit yet. But I can foresee having a grand time on this bike on dry pavement with hot tires. [/QUOTE]
