When Life Throws You A Curve..... Lean Into It
I'm short so, I had some of the cushion taken out of my seat by a friend. Prior to that, I didn't feel comfortable riding the bike on my "tippie toes". ha ha. Prior to this bike I had a Suzuki Boulevard C50, 2005 for four months and I put right at 5k miles on it.
I took the bike out this morning and put two hundred miles on it. What an incredible ride! Not only am I not tired, or fatigued, I am ready to ride again tomorrow. My butt didn't hurt and I didn't have to stop. What a powerful performance machine! I almost bought a new Concours and I am so glad I went with the FJR. I see now that we drive these bikes and the cruisers are more ridden. Like we sit in the cruiser and on the sport/touring bike. So much thought went into this motorcycle. This bike was clearly created and updated by riders, not admin folks in an office.
I did notice that my right hand kept going numb and sometimes my left hand would also. Does that mean that my handlebars are too low?
Thanks to the forum members who unknowingly assisted me in making my decision! I have been on it for one short ride and love it!
