[QUOTE="chornbe, post: 172634, member: 3119"] Curious... anyone who thinks this "master yoda" riding position is something new or unknown, have you ridden any kind of sport bike for more than 10 minutes? Not trying to sound insulting, seriously curious about the experiences. Anyone coming directly from, say a standard or tourer, or especially a cruiser, will find any lean-over seating to be a real problem with lots of physical problems stemming from it. Any bike (or chair) that leans you forward will hurt you until you learn to adjust to it, and figure out that you should be using your legs, glutes and abs to maintain your position, and should not be putting any weight on your arms (thus leading to elbow and wrist problems, and exacerbating carpal tunnel syndrome where present). I went from standards to cruiser to sport bikes to the FJR, and found coming from the sport bike to the FJR to be the perfect compromise between lean-over seating with some level of relaxed ergos.
