[QUOTE="BigDogRaven, post: 1212910, member: 20967"] My buddy JUST bought an FJ09 We went on a ride a week ago, and we switched bikes for about 25 miles, lots of twisties. Very FUN bike for sure, flickable, compared to the Big Girl, for sure. I really enjoyed riding it. The different modes were cool, however I mostly stayed in A mode. The seat felt like it was pushing me in to the tank. Bike has lots of torque for sure. Shaft drive would be nice. Other then the seat, riding position was great. Fun ride, but not a replacement for the FJR for me. I know for some, the weight of the FJR is a bit of an issue, so this bike would fit the bill for that. Also, on the same ride with us, was my neighbor, who JUST bought a 2014 Concourse. He suggested we switched bikes.......who am I to argue? A chance to ride another brand new bike, one I have never ridden. Now the Concourse......I REALLY liked!!! I did not want to switch back. These bikes are FAST!!!!! He was just past break-in, so I revved it up quite a bit. I was very impressed with the Connie!! [/QUOTE]
