[QUOTE="zaneoh, post: 860105, member: 27105"] Congats Control 1. I just got my 2006AE in March and have put near two thousand miles of great fun. I've enjoyed riding my Honda silver wing 600 ABS scooter for the previous couple of years. The FJR is less than a hundred pounds heavier yet it is more difficult to move/push around in the garage. In comparison I would say the silver wing was easy...low center of gravity. I'm sure you will get good at loading the FJR but I would sure want someones help on the the side of the bike until I felt "totally confident" to do it solo. Such a small range before a little lean is... "timber" to much lean. Throttling First gear on the AE ...which will soon bring you miles of smiles :) ...is much different than the cvt throttle roll on. The spring tension of the stock throttle requires more strength yet much less twisting before your off to the races. You may want to try loading it when in 2nd gear which may give you more clutch slippage. Anyway Congratulation on your new ride double the cc's and double the fun! [/QUOTE]
