I get all the fjr bashing... don't mind, I'm cool.

But on the weight issue... hell it almost feels light compared to my old st1300! that fuckn' thing was a beast!! but I would prefer it to be lighter still.

I think we all know though, once these bikes get rolling the weight isn't really noticeable (but be damn careful when going slow or stopping!).

I voted "Probably".  I do, however, think you should clarify the parameters for "smaller".

As a recovering ST1300 owner, the FJR is light.
As a SV650S owner, the FJR is heavy.
Take your pick.
Where is the "no" option?

I wish it was bigger!
not heavier, not any different rider position, just over all scaled up a bit.

At 6'5" I am really tired of all the hobbit sized performance bikes out there

and BTW there is no larger size option on your poll

A lot of comments on the options.  Some complaints.

I list what I consider to be the likely options when I do a poll.  I have a great deal of experience doing polls.  Much formal training in statistics and statistical analysis.  The invitation to comment means comments on the FJR, not comments on the poll. So, you need to shut up and vote.

i'm glad i have him set for IGNORE when i see quotes like this.

don't comment on the poll because it's assine and biased. if what he said is true then he knew it when he posted it. even more reason to ignore him.
