This looks like it would be a blast to ride!

Nice, I went +1, -1 as well with a speedo healer(more accurate now then from the factory when you set it up with a gps) and run an Akrapovic slip on.

Been wanting a FJR1300 for a couple years now. But of course there is always other priorities in life.

I also like the Honda ST1300, but alas...

I would love to have this bike too

I was looking at adding one of those to the stable, but I test rode one and my wrists were in some serious pain after 20 mins.... no thanks...

I'm looking at the FZ1 now, but I have other priorities, and the FJR suits me really well.... GOD I love the power of that thing - though its such a freakin tank sometimes... not easy to toss around on a road coarse, but its fun trying...

When I was on the coarse for the first time on open track day - I started in Novice, first time out on the track an all.... By the 2 novice circuit of the day, the track crew that follows everyone around pulled me off the track to yell at me....

"What are you doing....?"

Me - huh...?

Guy says "Look your starting last and finishing first, get outta novice and into intermediate... !!"
Me - its my first time on a track....

"Really - you toss around that tank pretty darn good, now get in Intermediate... !!"

I laughed - at the back handed compliment....

The ST1300's are not the greatest - hot and fugly....

I'd stick to the FJR - extremely low maintenance... but ya gotta try one on to see if its for you.... Awesome Power....

Yeah, when I was looking at all of the 600 sportbikes, the R6 had the most aggressive riding positions followed by the CBR then the GSXR. It was one of the reasons I went with the zuk. One of the guys I use to ride with here in AZ has an R1 just like this....one of the best looking factory sport bike I've seen.

Comfort is one of the reasons I got the FZ1. Power of the R1 and most of the handling, but none of the discomforts. Check out this video of an FZ1 like mine following an R1. Watch when they get to some of the straight parts and look at the speedo on the left. When the needle is straight up that is 100mph. Man I love the power of it. It's addicting.

 

[Warpdrv]

Nice, much like my FJR, 5 speed - 1st gear 60mph, 2nd is easy 100...

0-60 in 2.8 for a bike that heavy is awesome...

FJR - - Super Sport Touring !!!!

I def love that FZ1 - sweet.... it was also nice to see them bring back the V-Max...

Kinda goofy looking, but good lord... 1679cc

Off topic for a bit again...

I likes 'em like that.

I love how the beginning of the video says that this is on a closed road.

Uh huh. Then why do you keep passing cars, and why aren't you hugging the inside of the turns? Looks like fun though.

I briefly had a Suzuki 750GSET when I was in college. Fun bike, but I scared myself a few times when I got too confident on it.

I kept waiting for the kid to say how he likes chicks with big asses.

He does, he just doesn't know it yet

I haven't ridden a motorcycle in years, and it was actually a friend of mine who scared me. SHE went over the handlebars on her F4 and has permanent road rash on her forearms. She normally wore a full suit, but that day her brother had taken her bike and laid it down in the neighborhood. She went to get it and bring it back and this one time she didn't have ride gear on, she crashed and has some gnarly scars to show for it, even at a low speed. She's lucky that's all that happened.

My ex's dad was working on his nighthawk and I don't know what happened but his finger got pulled in and was removed by the sproket and chain...there wasn't anything left to reattach.

Yeah I know. Funny huh? Who are they fooling

At least it looks like they were smart enough to either remove the license plate from the lead bike or obsure it from camera view.

I am wondering though; has anyone ever got in trouble for making a video like that? I mean can they ticket you after the fact if there was no cop there to get you on radar and pull you over? I have never heard of anyone getting ticketed from a video they made unless there was someone hurt or a crash involved.

In the coming weeks I'll be getting my bike license, and once spring hits I'll be grabbing an SV650S. Hoping to have a MIVV Carbon Gp on it not long after.
