Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MATTINFAIRBORN: The obligatory Deals Gap photo taken April 28. Beautiful weather. I don't much like Deals Gap on a large bike. I'd love to ride a supermoto or a small, light sport bike through there. There are a ton of more fun faster roads with sweeper after sweeper in the area. This bike likes curves posted 35 or more. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/312702/4454618_jpg-3208594.JPG Yeah a FJR just isn't happy if it isn't pulling hard, that top heaviness really makes itself felt. Great bike though, but yeah not the best in slow turns. |

Just don't have much use for a road vehicle that can't get on the highway comfortably, sadly. |

Maybe this guy has the right solution. Tow a fun bike with your long distance bike. Get both... The FJR ought to tow a supermoto no problemo.  Attached File |

Some of the charm of bigger bikes is scraping the pegs, like I used to on my old Superglide Custom, a pig to be tossing around. |
