Interesting article...

I'm a little suprised with the quote of
Magazine Article wrote: One of my favorite things about this machine is its extreme light weight and maneuverability.
Compared to a Harley or a Goldwing, yeah its light.

I thought that all the liter class bikes of that time were in the 500lbs range with the CBR900 being the lightest @ under 500lbs....

Nice article - I still get the hairs on my neck raised when reading stuff like that!

ummm...yes compared to the gsxr1100 the fzr1000 was a perfectly balanced bike / frame / engine combination
