[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 899917, member: 19880"] I haven't managed to drop the FJR in 40,000 miles of ownership - came fairly close once when my foot slipped a bit on some gravel. Now my previous bike was a Yamaha Venture. Take the FJR, add 250 lb, a fat front tire, lots of weight up top and loose gravel in a zero speed turn in a parking lot. No way to stop it (a total of three times in two years); even if you get a solid "plant" with your foot. Fortunately with the engine guards, there wasn't so much as a scratch. When I first got the FJR, it felt like handling a bicycle by comparison! No problems with the FJR but I am 6'3" with a 34" inseam. I can see more issues for shorter riders; the bike is taller than some. [/QUOTE]
