Very low. Look at the engine compared to the axles. Very low. The tank is mostly under the seat and goes more down than back. The other thing they did was the double wish bone suspension. It's purpose is to create a suspension where the wheel moves mostly straight up and down. That allowed them to move the engine forward a great deal. That helps balance and makes it handle far more sporty. It also means no triple t or forks that come all the way up. Less top weight. There are three kinds of street motorcyclists these days. Those that have a new wing. Those that want a new wing. Those that have not realized yet they want a new wing.

Who doesn't love the symphonic acoustics of a big-bore boxer roaring through their neighborhood on a lazy Sunday morning?

All those bikes you speak of are fly by wire(if I'm not mistaken) the Connie is still push pull cable throttle. They would have to almost do a complete redesign to make it fly by wire which Kawi isn't ready to do or don't think there is a market to spend the money to do it. That is the main reason for no cruise.

I have a media blaster at work. It'll come off... 😎

Wish that I had known you wanted to join us @B-Mac. 312 miles for me. We had lunch at the Boondocks in McConnellsville. Less than 200 miles and the FJR will have 100,000 miles.

And so it starts

Have you been introduced to our lord and savior the BMW R 1250 GS A

Just a simple oil change... But now you got me looking up highway pegs

IKR? Luckily my company is going to a permanent hybrid WFH format so I'll only be in the office 2 or 3 days a week. 🙂

Had brunch at 555 Diner and past you on my return.

I had a Snickers bar and a Redbull for lunch but this was waiting for me when I got home...

I wish. I can't get vacation this short notice. Hell, I cant get vacation with 3 months notice.
