... is that it is BUTT ugly and cooks your legs and feet.

The Market doesn't seem to want 4 cylinder cruisers? Tell Honda who sell Magnas very well. Or Yamaha who have been known to sell V-Maxxes fairly steadily over the years.

>>>. Yamaha would not even have to spend on engineering or revisions to the FJ, just bring it here. <<<<



So in boxjoints world Yamaha they doesn't have to conform to US EPA and DOT requirements, huh?



Hee hee hee. That's a pretty competitve market there for the FJ.

The Warrior should handle curves very well, it has radial tires, a rigid aluminum frame, great brakes and excellent suspension components. I think it would be a blast on a back road.

The VTX weighs 120lbs more than the warrior, sells for $12,499-12,799. What are you talking about extra front disc? The Road Star Standard has dual disks as does the VTX. The warrior will have a better power to weigh ratio and will definately handle better.

Sorry Yamaha, that is one ugly motorcycle! It looks like it was thrown together. I thought the VTX exhaust was ugly, but you beat it hands down with your Warrior exhaust.

The VTX looks custom. The Warrior looks like a hurried attempt at catch up to Honda. At least you lowered the weight.

65.7 inch wheelbase, and a 200 section rear tire? Sounds like smooth and slow to me.

Ok, you did get me on that one . However, I was just comparing the FJ to a new version of the V Max. The FJ1300 would be a fresh new bike in this market and mechanically (other than emissions) it would need no serious changes to be sold in the US.

did you say (The other gallon is hiding in a cell under the seat). well i guess thats a small step in the v-max direction. i know this is feed back on the warrior but i notice guys wondering if this or the bulldog would have been the new v-max . well thank god they aint. the last thing i want is my max to become is another cruiser clone or power ranger bike. i think its great that the v-max is still the same for 17 years and looks fantastic as it is , and when you flick the wrist at any speed.......damn its a launch . wanna stop making the v-max......okay i got mine already. wanna turn it into another clone...no thanks .let the legendary max keep its unique looks and balls .retire the bike with its name
