You can ask the cops about that, too. The only problem with it is the heat transfer from the engine onto your legs, great in Winter, murder on a hot day at slow speed.

Build quality is very good and reliability seems ok, although I've only just reached 11000 miles. The FJR is good for 320-340 if you’re being well-mannered and enjoying the sights.

In the fully lowered position it feeds air to your face, but raise it all the way and it’s like sitting in a cocoon of placid quiet. By Visordown.

The FJR has one of the greatest motorcycle seats ever made. I class myself as a fast-ish road rider and the bike takes it all in its stride. If you didn’t care about that, you’d be buying a cruiser, not a sports tourer.And year after year, Yamaha’s FJR pulls out a big black Texta and ticks those ‘brilliant’ boxes with sublime conviction.

I have tried BMW 1200GT & S (FJR competitor) but the FJR seems a lot smoother and have better build quality.These bikes are often reffered to as uncomfortable over longer distances, I have had no such problem.

Weaknesses: Factory screen.Bike HP seems to derived from the lack of an electrical system to power auxillary accessories.

With 145hp, it blurs more than just the “sport tourer” boundaries… Sport-tourers, for awhile, were comfortable and convenient for the long haul but missing that critical ingredient – pure, outright performance.

2) Standard screen noisy at speed, get earplugs And I very much like that.Don’t give me too much choice.
