[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 1438197, member: 19178"] Let me start by saying that I love my FJR, and have no near-term plans of getting rid of it myself. But I am reaching the point of facing the depressing fact that as I get older, it will be getting tougher to deal with the mass of the FJR. It's a big, heavy bike, which isn't a big deal most of the time. But Father Time catches up to everyone. I have watched and read reviews of the latest Ninja 1000SX, the 2021 with hard bags. (I will be the first to point out; those have to be the ugliest saddlebags to ever "grace" the ass-end of a bike, but I digress). The latest updates revised some suspension geometry for better handling, reduced vibration, and it has a quick-shifter, slipper clutch, and electronic cruise control, along with the latest electronics, i.e. ride modes and traction control, etc. The price seems really reasonable, given the features and performance, plus it weighs about 130 pounds less than the FJR. Approximately 120 rear wheel horsepower, which probably makes it a tiny bit better than the FJR, power/weight speaking. I know the comfort won't be quite as good, and the weather protection is less. I am used to sportbikes, so clean air around my helmet is welcome. I appreciate any feedback from anybody whom has owned one or ridden one. Thanks, mates! [/QUOTE]
