Sport bike with bags. If I didn't regularly carry a passenger I could be interested.

It's very, um, pointy. I'm sure it will have a following.

"Will we lose any members to one of these?" No, but maybe to one of these! JSNS, Shelby GT350! https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/mustang-shelby-gt350

Dang, where do I sign up? My buddy had the regular 1290 and proclaimed it the best motorcycle ever made. Adding bags makes it a little better in my eyes, but not his.

My 990 supermoto t has sport bike bags, rack, 5 gal tank, hand guards and a windshield and was 8 grand less. No way this ktm can replace the FJR as a LD bike . However I'm sure it's a blast to ride.

When you get one, Don. Just will it to me when you, you know. Then we'll both die happy.

Funny , I was between the FJR and a Kawi Versy. The Kawi was quite a reach getting on and off ( I'm 6-1 ) versus the FJr and I ride with a passanger quite alot . My Passenger (5-8) nearly had to jump to get on the high tail section of the Kawi and scuffing the bags would be a daily thing. Coming off a bmw Rt I felt the FJR was the best for my type of riding. I don't see Adventure bikes as a good two-up option for me nor do I see alot of bmw GS riders with a passenger either. We are really enjoying the FJR and for the money it is a great bike.

If it doesn't have the triple tuning forks, it does not catch my eye. (Except maybe petey's hot rod roller skate.)
