FJR featured

As a Father's Day gift from the SO, I got a copy of "The Ultimate History of Fast Motorcycles" by Roland Brown (Parragon Publishing, ISBN 1-4-545-466-0). Was pleasantly surprised to see the FJR1300 included (pages 298-299), sandwiched between the Ducati MH900e and the GSX-R1000. The write-up was mostly complimentary and generally accurate. Bottom line: "The FJR1300 was arguably better than any of its modern rivals at combining long-distance comfort with much of the speed and style of a sport bike."

They didn't write 4 pages on the tick'n'heat? Thought it was law they had to.

Sounded odd to me also, but all the bikes in the book, including current models, are described in the past tense. I guess the author hopes the book will be read long after the bikes are current.
