[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1327110, member: 3828"] The primary difference between your Tuono and an FJR, or any other similar Supersport Touring bike, comes down to one undeniable factor: Weight. You can spend gobs of money on an FJR's suspension and make it as sharp handling as possible, but you will never get around the fact that it is a > 650 lb mass of metal, plastic and rubber, and that is at least 200 lbs heavier than your reference bike. To provide some context, imagine how a Tuono rides with a 200 lb passenger perched on the back. That's where the FJR starts out without any passenger. [/QUOTE]
