I love my feejer. Yes it's very big but it feel nearly as heavy as it is. I haven't met anybody yet that I can't keep up with. Not that they aren't out there, it's just a very capable bike. My biggest gripe about it was the throttle response in factory condition. Ultra lean jetting made it impossible to transition from coast back to power without a nasty snatch in the drivetrain. I installed a Power Commander and a set of slip-ons and the problem is fixed! It is now just about the best bike ever!
Of course the type of riding you do will dictate what bike you should have.
