I have a little over 15K Miles on my FJ and Bounce of the speed limiter in the twisties from time to time. I just got back from a 1K miles trip to Colorado and the roads there were way fun and in way bad shape. I mean 60 MPH in a lean and smack a pothole pretty hard. I came from an FJR1300 with custom Penske Shocks and Custom Built forks.. The reason I say all of this is.. I have always felt this bike to be planted.. Now I have never been on a full on sport bike and thus have no reference, I have had my former FJR on a track. FUN!!! Adjustments I made almost out of the box. Set front fork preload to 75% of max. It was about 50% from dealer Preload on the rear spring up two for more preload. I did this after having the bike for a pretty short period of time. I think this raised the ass end a tad giving the same result as lowering the front forks. I run Pilot Road 4 on both ends of the bike. I almost always have a GIVI top box on I do remember not liking the stock tires much, the felt a little squirrely to me personally. Thing is a bike can ALWAYS be improved. But this bike is the best value for the money that I have seen for my riding style. ***Makes zooming noises and runs down the hall

I agree!!!
