[QUOTE="Groo, post: 297357, member: 287"] As they say, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics... but still... BMWs at the starting line - roughly 43% of total bikes BMWs in the top 10 = 4, i.e. 40%, roughly proportional to their starting percentage BMWs in the top 20 = 7 i.e. 35%, roughly proportional to their starting percentage (or a bit lower).... FJRs at the starting line - rougly 15% of total bikes FJRs in the top 10 = 4, i.e. 40%, [B]nearly 3 times their total percentage[/B] FJRs in the top 20 = 6, i.e. 30%, [B]2 times their total percentage, and nearly that of the BMWs which started out with 3 times as many bikes![/B] [U]OBVIOUSLY[/U], the rider has a lot to do with it.... nobody questions that, heck, Jim Owens could probably finish top 20 on a moped.... assuming the transmission held up. But even taking that into consideration, the FJR platform and it's riders performed WELL above the norm. [/QUOTE]
