[QUOTE="TripperMike, post: 1093012, member: 27241"] Not to be mean or anything, but I truly hope that Yamaha never takes your suggestions to heart. All your "stock" farkles you listed kinda describes what you called a "whale"...the venerable GW. Truly a fine machine. But I like my sportier and lighter FJR almost just like it is. And why the heck would you ever feel the need to take off your farkles for shorter trips or for commuting?? Jeez didn't you just invest a lot of time just putting that stuff on? I try to commute every day on my scoot from late March till early December, and I ride with most of the farkles intact and it doesn't seem to detract from my enjoyment at all. And this talk about the RDL being ugly, I just don't get it. I just finished a lil' 10 day ride and there were two things I never thought about. 1. While standing next to it pumping in gas, not once did I think to myself "Now I have to sit back on that ugly seat. yuck!" and 2. Not once did I ever think about how my arse hurt, cuz it never did. What I like so much about the FJR is that it's an excellent package right out of the crate and yet leaves plenty for personal touches. Not everyone is into LD riding. And the FJR is not strictly a LD bike. [/QUOTE]
