I just read an test in "Motorrad" Germanys leading bike magazine. They have
a first full test on the FJR 1300. First of all: Great Bike. Really.
On the other hand, there are a couple of interesting things to learn....
a.) A FJR 1300 is NOT 237 kg light, fully dressed it comes to 275 kg.
b.) It has NOT a torque of 134 Newtonmeters, it has 129.
c.) It has NOT 145 Horsepower, it has 137.
Hard Luggage is not available at the moment.
Front Breaks need "a hard hand".
ABS is not available.
And, last but not least - it isn't cheap at all...Bike, Hard Luggage (IF
available), Heated Grips and some other details will ad up to 29.000 DM. US$
??? Around 13.500 $.
I will stay with my good old GTS for a while.
