[QUOTE="bergmen, post: 1263129, member: 15189"] The FJR can revolutionize the experience of motorcycling like no other motorcycle can. This coming from a life-long motorcyclist that began riding in 1961. I first tasted how Yamaha approached motorcycles in the fall of 1978 when I bought a brand new Yamaha 1979 XS1100. Yamaha values (and designs towards) heavy mid-range, useable torque. None of this "horsepower at the redline" stuff, just whack the throttle and get 'er done. I had 96 crankshaft horsepower with the XS1100 and about the same weight as the FJR. A 50% increase in horsepower with about the same weight results in a gigantic increase in useable torque for the discerning motorcyclist. It doesn't get any better than this. Dan [/QUOTE]
