I don't recall having seen the rated torque and horsepower ratings for the FJR. I do think the FJR represents the best value for the money from my research. It would be great if Yamaha would market and sell the bikes in a more customer-friendly manner though. I would love to test-ride, sit on a bike, etc. before committing to a purchase. The website does not state the hp and torque values.
However it seems everyone on the forum is near-ecstatic with their bikes as far as I can tell. Let's see...I won't be needing a screaming eagle race tuner, a 95" kit, new pipes, new air intake, a dyno tune, floating brake rotors, etc. etc. to bring the bike up to modern standards of performance, which also implies the bike is ready to rock right out of the box pretty much? Will a FJR run well on regular unleaded?
Actually I think the Harleys are awesome looking bikes, but the business person in me just can't handle the price and then having to spend a huge chunk of change to bring it up to par compared to say a FJR. Since I can really afford just one bike right now, it's going to have to be the best one for the bucks...
How to find available bikes at a reasonable cost or do I have to wait for the '07 PDP?
