It's true.. FJRs DO weave at speed when fully dressed
came back from France yesterday after 6 days of beer beer wine beer and crepe
last stretch on dual carriage way i gave it a handful.
was perfectly stable up to sensible speeds.
Some people say that they weave when fitted with full luggage, I didn't notice that.
However, it's alleged that when you reach about 120 it starts to weave a bit, and they will continue to weave gently till it tops out at 140, where aerodynamics stop you taking in those last 10 mph.
I have got a slight stress fracture in the topbox mount now tho

'Irresponsible' doesn't come close. 
My bike is unstable a lower speeds.
