A Sport Bike? A Touring Bike? Both!
|
Sport-tourers, for awhile, were comfortable and convenient for the long haul but missing that critical ingredient - pure, outright performance. Yamaha has fused the best ingredients of both sport bikes and touring bikes together in the 2004 FJR1300. Upon it's launch this year, Cycle World magazine dubbed the FJR1300 as the "Best Sport-Touring Bike..." and said it "Combines cruise-ship comfort with a motor that would probably propel an ocean liner at a good clip, all wrapped in a classy-looking silver package."

He compares Bike Week with medieval "Reversal Rituals" like The Festival of the Fools and The Festival of the Ass where blasphemous pagan activities taunted the limits of authority.
