And can I just say:



'Sport-Tourer' my ass. Sure the FJR is a well designed bike and if 95% of my riding was on the highway, I'd consider something like that. But I can't imagine an FJR rider getting to a really windy back-road and thinking: 'Gee, I'm really glad I have this 650 lb motorcycle with me instead of something smaller and lighter.'

The FJR may be sporty compared to a Gold-Wing. . . but a Harley Street-Bob would be sporty compared to a Gold-Wing.

I want a bike that can not only get me somewhere, but be fun once it gets there. The original FJ 1100 was a lot closer to what I'd like than the FJR, but it seems that once manufacturers try to make a 'tourer' out of a bike it just grows and grows until it's not a lot of fun anymore.

I'm really hoping the 1190AX will help bring back the idea that a bike that can handle distance riding can be a lot of fun also.
