No, I very much wanted to take the FJR upon discovering the Busa's brake caliper issue.But the fact of the matter is: I have to husband the rear Avon Storm on the FJR, because I am taking my girlfriend on her first SaddleSore 1000 on the way to the IBA International Meet in Denver next week.Had I taken the FJR on this ToH run instead of the Hayabusa, there would not be enough rubber remaining on the FJR's rear Storm to safely carry us to Denver and return.Too..... the Hayabusa is cooler while running in the burning desert, compared to the FJR.Actually... that's not entirely accurate. There is more airflow surrounding the Busa rider, than the FJR rider. But both machines are pretty dag-gone warm when it is 108 outside in the shade - much worse on the interstate. :huh:
