[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1448440, member: 68615"] BigBlue, The FJR is somewhat top-heavy. You may not notice this in flight, but it can be a handful in the parking lot. With the good mileage of the FJR, you can get by with just half a tank of gas (or less) at first. When the last segment of the gas gauge is flashing, you still have maybe thirty miles to find your bike a gas station. Fall bars on the FJR are a good idea. In a zero-speed drop, they can save you more in repair bills than the bars will cost you. I would also recommend frame sliders, in addition to the fall bars. If the FJR gets too far out of vertical, no rider can stop the drop. Fall bars and frame sliders can make this mishap just a bother, without the repair bills. Make sure the bike does not come down on your foot - if you can't stop the drop, at least try to save your foot. [/QUOTE]
