Do you still have to put $500 down to sit on one?

A nice touring rig to be sure. Too bad it suffers from the modern malady of ever increasing weight. It's about 100lb up over the claimed weight of 4 years ago.

No one should take Japanese weight claims seriously. I think they just make them up.

Not a bad bike, I'd hold out for the Trophy myself but the FJR has always been a solid performer.

Most OEMs came to an agreement a couple of years ago to list wet (fully fueled) weights, and these were easy to verify. Verifying dry weights was impossible. We've rolled several bikes across scales over the past few years, and the OEM-supplied curb weights were within just a few pounds of what we measured, so they're actually useful now. There is also a new European standard for listing curb weights. Interestingly, its parameter for being fueled is for the tank to be at least 90% full rather than fully filled.
