A wolf in sheep’s clothing. I wasn’t exactly hanging around, swinging along touching bits down through the bends when riding my Yamaha FJ1200 sometime during the late 80’s, I thought I was pretty darned cool … until some character on a TR1 came by as if I was standing still, except he was making a better job of the bends because he had better ground clearance. The experience rather took the wind out of my sails! A much more competent and exciting bike than perhaps its plain-jane looks would suggest.
