Coming From a Honda Silver Wing to an 1300AE is a smooth and exciting change,Upgrade,and Growth. 500 pound scooter to a 650 pound Hand shifting Sport Tourer Fighter Jet!!!
I've got the FJR1300A. I was iffy about the electricly shifted gearbox. But it was tempting. I mean .2 secs between shifts sounds awesome. I know there's no way I could bust out a shift that fast.
But then again for me (personal preference) I just like having that clutch there.
I have to wonder how well it launches in a drag style take off.
@jeepinbanditrider I own a AE model, it took some getting use to. the answer to the question how well does it launch there is no comparison (in my opinion) as the AE system won`t allow the engine rpm`s to be over 2K before the clutch starts to engage, giving a manual clutch a big advantage. Also upshifting the AE model at low speeds at low RPM`s (mainly 1-2-3 gear) causes a backlash in the shaftdrive that would not occur in the clutch model. Overall I like the system.
Bike is ugly. It's slow. Rider didn't beat on it at all. Could have called a cab faster

The bike seems ultra smooth, either that or you have a superbly damped camera mounting.

These bikes are so awesome! I love the low end torque and top end fun!

It's the better part of a second slower in the 1/4 than the standard model..likely mostly lost time at the launch.
