"Tsuyoshi Shibata (product planning Yamaha Motor Europe) adds:" In spite of the good acceptance of the bike, some deficits are also highlighted. About one third of respondents complained about ABS not being standard for this type of machine. In particular riders from Germany expressed their high priority for this feature. On the other hand respondents from Latin countries are mostly concerned about price and sportiveness. In this respect it is difficult to determine the best balance between sophisticated features and cost. However we have to acknowledge these facts and come up with solutions for the next model improvements." Hawke FJR 1300 ...... (vanity plate) Snarly http://homepage.mac.com/johnlaurenson/
