    More FJRs going down?

    I was reading somewhere that a lot of previous squids are moving into the sport touring market as they get older....maybe they still want to be squids are having trouble with the extra size of the FJR. For the record the FJR is not top heavy or heavy in anyway compared to my RT, the GT's I've...

    Rider magazine

    Master Yoda Riding Position

    Put more wait on the pegs during braking....by doing this you should be able to distribute the wait to more contact points....and keep the wait lower in the bike. Whip

    "Whippin" Through California II

    I had been strapping Helen 2 Wheels med. duffles to the top of the Yamaha bags....now because the Givi are so much bigger I don't have to. An unintended consequence is the added frame stiffness do to the way the Givi mounts attach the can bracket to the seat frame. I like the extra strength. Whip

    Another FJR Review

    I read the test this mornin and I think it was very well done and accurate. I've spent enough time on the new GT to know I would rather have my FJR. Whip

    Frustrated with Yamaha, considering BMW

    "The GT sucks compared to the FJR. Feels top heavy in comparison. Saddle bags can't even hold a full face helmet. A hasty intro to market for sure" Top heavy maybe, but the bags will hold more than the FJRs including full face helmets. I've spent many hours on the new GT, I like the FJR better...
