Some interesting coincidences in this thread.

I have a 2004 FJR. I also have a 2002 ZRX1200R.

In the 10 1/2 years I've owned the ZRX, I've put 35,000 miles on it.

In the 7 years I've owned the FJR, I've put 75,000 miles on it.

Still own the ZRX AND the FJR.

I wouldn't trade either for the other, 'cause I'm thrilled to death with both.

Which one pulls better from 3500-4k rpms?
A Bandit 1250 does......it makes FULL torque at only 3200rpm's (about 81ft lbs)

 
My biggest problem with my new FJR is that I find myself speeding bad when I'm not trying to. At 70 I feel like I am doing about 45. It is so smooth and comfy that I can't judge my speed very well.

If the other traffic is a blur, you're probably going a tad too fast. Just trying to help!

Your judging of speed will improve in proportion of ($$$$

The FJR pulls like a freight train and goes from 0 to illegal in very short order...that pretty much sums it up. And yes, it does feel like you've been shot out of a cannon.

I read on the Internet about this one time last summer where the owner of a new BMW M5 decided he was going to blast around the rider of an '05 FJR after they both took off from a stop light.

But, he quickly found out that through the first three gears the FRJ will haul it's, and an M5's AZZ!! So long M5!!

The names have been changed to protect the innocent...
