[QUOTE="Happytrails63, post: 1231901, member: 87161"] Attended the Yamaha Demo Ride event here locally also anticipating a nice ride on a 2015 FJR ES. Apparently someone dumped it at the previous site. When I asked about it they told me it was unrideable due to plastics damage and they wre waiting on parts to arrive. Ended up on an FJ-09, FZ-07 and FZ-09. They had picked out a nice set of curvy backroads and while I never got to get up to speed on any of the bikes it was still a nice time. There is another Yamaha Demo Ride event an hour and a half away from me coming up. Haven't decided if I will make that trip yet. Dont want to ride all that way to be disappointed again. Lots of other demo rides coming to town though including Victory, Indian and Can Am. As to getting used to low speed handling on a heavier bike it comes with a little practice. Also not enough air in the front tire and a heavy bike will handle like an elephant. [/QUOTE]
