[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1068122, member: 20946"] Hey SoCal, EFI: I knew that. But remember that I bought my FJR 3 years ago, and at that point, the 07 was a 3 year old bike and was not in the price range I wanted... yet. The styling: from the rider's vantage point when seated, the front of the gas tank is real narrow. It just looks so odd. I've never been able to get used to it. It just... bothers me. The FJR tank, by comparison, is a work of art. In addition, the styling of the items clustered around the gauges and interior design of the fairing looks like an after-thought. It doesn't have the fit and finish nor the smooth design of the FJR. From the side, again, the tank is butt-ugly. The fairing itself looks like it's tacked on, and doesn't have the smooth integrated design of the FJR. I didn't like the bulbous muffler or it's one sided appearance form the rear... either. I realize a lot of this stuff might be just my opinion. In addition, I didn't like the chain drive or the high mount passenger pegs and sad excuse for a passenger seat. I could go on, but you get my drift. I don't want to sound like I'm dissing the Zookie, but compared to the FJR... for me... it's just not in the same league. Gary darksider #44 [/QUOTE]
