I rode the FJR today after a nine month hiatus. Holy crap! When I went from the ST1300 to the FJR, they were quite similar. From them to the Tenere, it was different, but all new bikes are. But now, completely used to the Tenere....the FJR IS cramped; it DOES have "slow" steering. I now believe the FJR has been flashed; bought it used. The FJR's "S" mode throttle feels like the Tenere's "T" mode throttle. (But, damn, it is SO fast) The adoption paperwork went through on the FJR, so my youngest son is now a proud papa of a rocket ship.
