[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1271040, member: 21394"] My brother sent me [URL="https://motorcycleparadise.blogspot.com/2014/07/2014-yamaha-fjr1300-detailed-review.html"]this blog article[/URL], expressing his concern that the FJR review show the bike has "center of gravity issues and is top-heavy and understeers". He asked me what my experience has been, and as the owner of a 2005 with upgraded suspension, this motorcycle is unrecognizable. He compares the steering to a Suzuki M109. The article goes into some suspension modifications where the author even lowered the forks and install longer dog-bones on the rear suspension. I looked for a discussion of this review on the forum, and could not find it. I think the author is a poor rider, nut-case or got a bike that was just not typical (I'm pretty stuck on nut case and poor rider). Anyone else have some ideas on how to respond to this nonsense? This is pretty long and skimming to the end saves some time. The author rides in Japan and appears to have never gotten his FJR to corner well. I find it almost effortless to set a turn with the FJR and ride the rail.
