The local dept. in Miami tested them, liked 'em better then the FLH but went with the Kawasaki 1000's instead.

Thumbs up

I love FXR's and I'll likely be getting one for my next project bike.

In a way, the FXR was the VRSC of it's day. It was new, different, a blast to ride... (harder to work on) And a lot of old timer/Harley faithful hated it. Now it's a cult classic. Go figure.
