The Hitcher Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Doesn’t really appeal to me, looks a bit cheaply made and parts bin compared to its big brother. Why didn’t they go all out and make a super sport 600 baby V4. Quote

Stu Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Yup it's all about emissions these days! I am led to believe the FJR has been dropped due to emissions The solution is turbos and superchargers! The rest on the manufacturers need to keep up with kawasaki Quote

I disagree about the emissions a 600 cc V4 going to a 15/16k redline, similar to the old Honda VFR/RVF 400s is going to emit a much nicer sound than a 660cc parallel twin . 1 Quote

Its Euro5 compliant. And the new big Triumph Rocket III is too and you don't get much bigger than that! 1 Quote

Which makes me laugh as triumph couldn't make the trophy euro 5 and was one of the main reasons it was dropped! 1 Quote

Maybe they just didnt want to invest in the Trophy as most people looking to buy in that segment bought a BMW instead! Quote
