Rider Profile
| Best For | Best suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience, since the FJR's substantial weight and long wheelbase reward confident, deliberate handling. |
| Purpose | Built for devouring long highway miles and covering continents in comfort, with enough power in reserve for confident overtakes and spirited backroad stretches. |
| Rider Fit | A tall and heavy machine that favors riders of average-to-tall height and reasonable strength, particularly at low speed and when maneuvering it off its centerstand or through tight parking. |
| Character | A refined, shaft-driven sport tourer that blends effortless four-cylinder power delivery with plush suspension and full weather protection for a relaxed yet capable riding experience. |
| Not Ideal For | Not the right choice for riders seeking a light, flickable machine for tight city commuting or any kind of off-road adventure. |
