The bike was secured to the floor, so I could tell little about it's balance and feel.<br><br>The tank is wider, just like most modern sports bikes ...
Thanks for the great pics! It helps to see the bike in reference to a rider.<br><br>So you say that it feels/looks smaller in-person than the pictures suggest?...
Took these shots (with the assistance of Mark Arliss) at the Birmingham NEC Bikeshow. They're at:-<br><a href=http://www.fjmods.btinternet.co.uk/FJRNEC.htm...
The last time I was up at the local Yamaha shop I had asked about it and demanded that when it was shipped I would be the first on the list. They have the list...
...no, the petition didn't seem to garner any comments, plus it was more of an inquiry.<br><br>So, you hear that we will indeed be getting the FJR next year? I...
Al, I don't think the excitment has diminished, it's just that at the moment there's no new information coming through.<br><br>I'll get to see the FJR next...
well, the initial excitement seems to have died down a bit. But keep on asking your dealers about the bike so maybe we can get it on our shores next year!...
I wonder if we could put together a group petition/letter to Yamaha to voice our interest? Even on the FJ1100/1200 list there seems to be quite a few...
All I can say is I wanted one yesterday. I'm getting the same feeeling for the FJR1300 that I did when I first laid eyes upon the FJ1200 many moons ago.. I'll...

Ahh Barry I'm so jealous. You'll actually get to put your hands on one. Hey the sreen saver is great. The pictures are so defined they almost jump out at me...
Welcome aboard guys!<br><br>The more I read about the FJR the more I like what I hear.<br><br>In truth I shalln't be buying one before I move house (hopefully...
Hey Barry thought I'd jump on the list also. I'm one who actually likes everything about the bike, even the shaft drive. I'd even sell one of my FJs as a down...
Sign me up brothers and sisters. The wife has decreed that we will own this bike should it ever come stateside. And keep our mighty, mighty FJ12 as a...
It certainly seems a weird decision. Perhaps they anticipate demand to be greater in Europe first?<br><br>I suppose it's rather like the V-Max only in reverse....
I hope to get my first look at the FJR at the NEC bikeshow Birmingham UK next month.<br><br>I will be taking quite a few pictures and will post them as soon as...
I may not want one, but the wife does.<br><br>At least she says there's some prospect of getting her one.<br><br>Strangely she finds the FJ uncomfortable,...
I want one. There, I said it. I don't care if it looks just like the old FJ or not, I don't necessarily intend to let go of my '90 anyway.<br><br><a...
