I have had bikes (never a Harley) since my "71" 750 Honda. The last two were Yamaha FJR 1300's. Almost 100K miles on them since 2002. Wife loves to ride, and I got the wing for her comfort. So far (500 miles since Saturday on my 2010 1800) I like it. Can't wait until I get it up in the mountains.
Three things I find strange, and comments are welcome. Why not offer ABS without the Navigation and XM radio and the huge price increase. The FJR comes with ABS and it saved my butt a couple of times. Would have loved to have it on the wing, but... Also why not put a 12VDC plug on it. Almost nobody wouldn't use it at some point. Standard on the FJR. And the other, it seems to me another gear or a higher over drive gear would be great. I would think 2500 RPM at 80-MPH would not strain that engine at all. Have these issues been discussed before in this forum?
