    Interesting note, handlebars I'd imagine keep it away from the flats when dropped. Guess rocks / other debris would pose an issue, but I also feel any bike would be susceptible to that kind of variable.

    personally I'm not a huge fan of the looks, and from what I see on specs it would be a mid-range track bike. Similar HP to an R6, similar weight to an R1, and torquey. that tail section looks like the ripped off Aprilia then bloated it, front winglets look like a low res video game render to me. Probably be a great street bike though. I foresee these being snatched up by influencers as a wheelie monster

    congrats on paying off the AT! Ducati sounds like BMW lol. I just took it in for oil and a new front last month...and my service light came on today because my shop didn't know to reset it when they had it lol. Think i'll just ride this one out until the next

    in person it sticks out a good bit where even with the handlebars its a good risk tbh since i could kick it with my foot while sitting on the bike.

    a few fancy lights, and one glaring "SERVICE" symbol that likes to take over my dash for the first 5 secs upon startup reminding me I'm too poor for my own GS-911 tool

    Lot of tech in that bike even for being a decade old.

    my other bikes just have the basic lights. neutral, high beams, oil pressure, check engine, signals and low fuel.

    Apple car play, touch screen, able to turn on/off auto canceling signals, and read your own diagnostic codes - on a bike? Unheard of!

    You have self canceling turn signals? FJR1300 STILL doesn't have that. One major flaw in an otherwise near perfect machine. Heck, My Buell has self canceling turn signals.

    okay okay mr moneybags

    at least I have the auto-cancelling signals...best I can do otherwise is 3 buttons to sift through the dash screen options

    lol there's something to be said for simplicity for sure
