[QUOTE="JRF, post: 1257045, member: 88442"] Great thread. Lots of great advice. Ive always found with the various bikes ive owned that they are most enjoyable being ridden as they were designed to. Fast on the sport bikes, slow on the cruisers. I really enjoyed the zx12, but with the speeds I was finding myself moving at, it had to go, so I bought a vulcan. The thump of a twin & relaxed riding experience was quite enjoyable, but I also felt that the bikes lack of acceleration, braking & handling capabilities compromised my ability to ride safely. I also found myself less alert when riding cruisers. When the FJR came along I found that this machine very effectively combined the best characteristics of the other bikes ive owned. This bike will do more than ill ever ask of it under normal riding conditions & I see that as a safety measure. Always focussed on the road & comfortable doing so. Baggers are awesome. If I found myself gravitating towards doing things that fall outside of safe riding practice, than it wouldn't be the right bike for me. Thats one of the best characteristics of the feej, it'll do it if you ask, but couldn't care less if you don't. [/QUOTE]
