    I'm not saying what I was riding.

    That's how much I fail, the FJ isn't anywhere near decent handling
    Bwahahahahaa!! You reckon? Then dont EVER ride any of the 1970/1980's "superbikes' pre FJ1100. That was the first 'DECENT?' frame the Japs made in the litre plus bracket. Any frames prior to that were a case of the engine massively overpowering the frame and cycle parts.

    It's all relative, I'm aware of this
    They handle like shit. At the time an Austin 7 was a fantastic car and my ZZR600 was an awesome small bike, it's a slow heavy pig by todays standards

    Goes to show, it's all about the rider though. Quite embarrassing being learnt by an FJ

    XS, rode one a while back, I liked it. Too heavy for a tiny bugger like me sadly can't reverse it...
