From: Steve on 22 Mar 2010 17:55 Are these things not selling as well as Honda expected? I went for a sit on one in the showroom on Sunday and the salesman was offering to fit luggage , centre stand. tall screen , respray it any colour I want etc. I'm off for a test ride this weekend but got a whiff of desperation.....

The FJR1300AS would more properly be compared against the yet to be released dual-clutch version of the VFR1200. The FJR1300A with a conventional clutch has to be cheaper, but I had trouble finding a suggested UK retail price for it. |
