[QUOTE="fjr, post: 238634, member: 1503"] Awesome bike. I bought a 600RR about two years ago with a salvage title to get a feel for a sportbike.. I am 58, so I wasn't sure about the ergonomics of a real sportbike. It takes some getting used to and I now find the only problem I have with it is low back muscles which I am working on. I ride it way more then I did the 600 though. There is something to be said for that much HP between your legs. The engine pulls from very low RPM up to redline very strongly. I put a Scorpion slip on exhaust and I really think it added a few hp. Either that or the roar! I would think the FJR would stay with it to about 60mph and then this thing would be gone. I've had it up to about 125 and it is amazingly stable for a 388 lb bike. The electronic steering damper works great. Handling is phenomenal. You can really throw it around. I had a 750 Monster a few years ago and everything is better on this bike from brakes to handling to smile factor. Gas mileage is pretty poor(~30) but that's not really what it is made for. I think, of the Japanese liter bikes, it is probably the most street easy. It is a ham cooker though like the FJR. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
