I'm sitting here realizing that I'm confined by work and can't ride for a few days. There is a driving force, a soul or character, my FJR possesses that excites me when I'm on board. I love that solid pull at the handlebars when you give it a little gas. No! It doesn't have the torque of a ZX14 or Hayabusa, but the FJR's smooth inline four with lower compression ratio than the all out sport bikes reminds me of my old Kawasaki Z1R 1000 and Suzuki GS 1100. The FJR's low end and mid range torque excites me. Combine that with cruise control, an all day comfy seat, and ride with great handling...I can't wait to get back on her again.
My recent FZ6 was the closest thing to a speedway handling bike I've ever owned. That and the marvel of how far technology has taken 600cc bikes amazed me. My friend's Harley Davidson with that soulful rumble sound going down the road let me feel that bike's soul or... less
Everything about my bike excites me, whether it's just parked in the garage waiting to be ridden, or if I'm out on the road enjoying the miles. But what is really awesome is the attention it gets no matter where I am. Makes everything I have done and all I have spent on it worth it!!
