Hey Barry.......well as you probably know by now, we do now have the FJR in the US as of March 1st. In fact I have one on order, although, I may switch dealers before I take delivery. It looks like some pretty good deals are to be had on the FJR if you shop a little during this introductory period in the US.
SO.....give me some more feed back on the FJR riding experience. I await with baited breathe...:>)))) The good and bad, Mark won't mind...... I just got off a short hop on the GTS a few minutes ago and to be honest I am not sure if I really need any more power. But, what has need got to do with anything????? ....:>))) hawke > From: Barry Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: GTS-1000 Owners List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 00:00:32 -0000 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: FJR v GTS > > The FJR is without doubt a fine motorcycle.
