[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1213088, member: 28773"] All this talk of seizing shafts and personal maintenance is nice but is straying from the topic.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] The M109 is very fast for a cruiser. The FJR is medium fast for a big bore Sport Tourer. The FJR simply wins the drag race. Power to weight ratio is an amazing thing. Most of the 1/4 mile times I find for the FJR are in the 10.9s. The M109 is around 11.6. My old ST1300 ran in the 11.40s and the difference between it and the FJR was embarrassing. A few tenths of a second don't sound like much but when you see it in real life it is huge. Of course if the FJR is one gear too high and the M109 rider is on his game you might lose a roll on. All things being equal the M109 cannot overcome the laws of physics. [/QUOTE]
