Funny that. I recall when the FJR debuted in EU asking the Yamaha reps at
the cycle shows when it was coming stateside and getting the "there's no
sport-touring market in the US" response. I think we got that line for
the first 2 years of FJR's existense was it?
I had my heart set on FJR when it first came out but by the time it came
here I was happily putterin' around on my ST. I've often thought that FJR
would be my next bike unless Triumph gave the ST a shaft drive and have
often wondered if Triumph was listening to us at all. Given your
examples, I'd have to guess not.
