My brief impressions of the FJR so far:
Jason (dealer) offered to deliver the bike to my house. I accepted. I finally got the bike Saturday afternoon.
This thing is taller, heavier, and wider than my GPz750. This is taking some getting used to. I am learning to really streeetch when I get on or off of it. I have about a 31" inseam and I cannot flatfoot the bike. Under about three mph, it handles like a pig. Right now, I am simply devoting much to much of my attention to stopping. I feel really insecure with the weight when I come to a stop. So far, I have had it up to just under . . . 40 mph in my immediate neighborhood. I am getting a little impatient to go somewhere, but I plan to spend about a week close to home doing stop and gos and learning all the switches to where they become instinctive.
I have the engine set to wuss (well, Yamaha calls it "Touring") mode, not sport mode. I need all the control I can get right now.
This has a great engine. It starts pulling right off idle. I had to spin the GPz up to about 3K rpm before I got useful power. I cannot judge the high speed fuel injection metering, but low speed is great.
I ordered a set of canyon cages for it. I am not planning to drop the bike, but who knows what will happen down the road?
