New Article including the FJR

Post by Atrious »

I saw this article and wondered if the FJR was included, and it was. Though the subjective information included in the article is spot on, I fear the objective information could be a little off.

Obviously, a click-bait article, it still mentions how the GSX1000 was not really a touring motorcycle yet still included it.

What are your thoughts?

I’ve seen 275km/hr = 170mph indicated, which we all know is rather less due to the optimistic speedometer..I think it was actually 250km/hr = 145mph…
