[QUOTE="builderwill, post: 746080, member: 19198"] Seventyss, I felt your same disappointment when I first got my '08. The acceleration did just not compare to my bandit. I'm not a wheelie guy, but I just can't see the FJR lifting the front tire without a lot of effort. On my old bike you had to work to keep the front down. I actually had a little buyer's remorse even though I got a great deal on the FJR. The performance was no where near the hype. The good news is I've gotten used to the more refined power of the FJR and my first fairly long trip to Wheaton's campout is where the bike really shined and reminded me why I bought it. 3 days of riding twisties followed by a 700 mi slab ride home with no advil. That's what the bike was built for. The mpg seems a little low, although I don't watch mine very close. Hopefully I'm going to do the UA TBS this week and will let you know how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
