[QUOTE="jjsC6, post: 684455, member: 1589"] I don't ride two-up on that bike (or the FJR) so maybe that makes a difference. I don't feel the Concours lacks in mid range torque, and my friend actually thinks it has more than the FJR (I am not sure if I agree). One thing that confuses the issue is that the Concours has a six speed transmission and the FJR a five speed. The Concours is turning a lot less RPMs in sixth gear. Even in sixth at freeway speeds I don't feel it's lacking. On the other hand, I think shifting is part of the fun or riding so I have no issue with downshifting when needed. [/QUOTE]
