The Hitcher Posted December 3, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted December 3, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducato have released the V4 Multistrada which is 1150 cc or thereabouts. Its Euro5 compliant. And the new big Triumph Rocket III is too and you don't get much bigger than that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just didnt want to invest in the Trophy as most people looking to buy in that segment bought a BMW instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
