[QUOTE="Cal24Master, post: 111695, member: 2026"] I've always thought the FJR was like the world's biggest dirt bike. I have rode mine through mud, gravel, dirt, sand and about anything else. Always with the bags, and usually with the fuel cell. During the White Stag rally a couple years ago I passed to BMW GS's and two KTM 950 Adventures in the mud on Bad Water road in Death Valley. It's not a dirt bike, has poor ground clearance and I wouldn't want to have to pick it up alone, but for what it is, I doubt your going to find a better handling bike in this class in the dirt. Just keep your weight on the pegs and lean as far back as you can. You have to stay on the gas and keep it moving. Tom [/QUOTE]
