[QUOTE="FJR Bill, post: 1141231, member: 20779"] I'm not laughing either. I own a 250 Kawi and a FJR. They are two good bikes to own as they serve two very different purposes. I'll always own a small bike like the Kawa. Everybody has rightfully cautioned you about the tall weight of the FJR. I'm short of leg and the only reason I haven't yet dropped my FJR is my decades of experience on other heavy/tall bikes. Your Honda 250 experience will not be too helpful in that requard. However if you are tall (I'm 5'8") you might be just fine adjusting to the bigger bike. Best wishes if you buy the FJR, it's a great long distance traveller. Don't fear the power of the FJR, respect it. What I mean is at low RPM the bike is tame but strong. At higher RPM improper throttle imput might scare the hell out of you. So take time learning it's power curve. Keep us posted. Bill [/QUOTE]
