FJRm'd and dangerous
I think it's been pointed out quite clearly in this thread that the black-and-white data that you seek in order to determine if the FJR brakes are "good" is somewhat pointless. Again, even if you could control every variable in the testing process, you're not lkely to see those exact variables on the street.....ever.I may still buy an FJR but I'd sure like to see some test DATA, not opinion, that indicates the brakes are really good, not just mediocre.
Bottom line: the FJR brakes are far MORE than adequate for street riding and may even improve in '08. If you haven't ridden a FJR, do it and see for yourself. Are there better brakes? Yep. There's also much worse.
You imply that opinion is more credible than data? In the case of brakes, I could not disagree more. I trust the opinions of the riders on this forum, who put their FJR's through their paces on the street every day FAR more than any test data. To my knowledge, no one has ever found themselves in trouble on their FJR because their brakes were inadequate. However, you'll find plenty of comments about how good their brakes were when it really counted.
