I finally put the coals HARD to my 13 yesterday after a 3000km break in period. That bike has some giddy-up. I've known for a long time that the FJR will 'haze' the rear tire, the traction control really does a good job of putting the power on the ground. I don't think peak power is much different, but the 13 will out accelerate my 04 (the 2nd fastest year!) simply because it's putting as much power down as possible. It's noticeable.

Braggers. That's what I get. Pick the best color and end up with the most problematic drivability issues...

The biggest issue this bike has, in any color, is the incessant whining - Caused by the owners.
