[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1413743, member: 29492"] My opinion ... based on my own initial reaction to a new FJR. No disrespect to anyone selling their FJR; there are many reasons to sell a motorcycle. This is MY EXPERIENCE only. Some folks may buy this bike and quickly think, "[I]This motorcycle is too powerful and too quick for me. It was a mistake to buy it.[/I]" I certainly did. But I was a single man, hard-headed, and too proud to admit I was afraid of an inanimate object. So, in the first six months of ownership, I spent many spring and summer evenings touring through the beautiful north Atlanta suburbs [B]in second gear[/B] becoming adjusted to the bike's weight, handling, ABS, and throttle response. I rationalized that staying in second gear would keep me out of trouble and cause less harm if I lost control or crashed. (I swear; it did.) During that six-month training period, I slowly added higher-speed rides -- using gears 3 through 5 -- during daylight hours. All that to avoid placing my new, low-mileage FJR for sale on Craigslist or somewhere similar. After those first few months of apprehension, I began to love this bike and the adventures it offered.
