The Rockstar
Edition gained a
little weight over the
standard FC 250,
but you won't care.
The hard edge of the seat
is different from the flatter,
rounder design from before
and offers a more distinct feel
for where you are on the bike.
The pegs now have a wider
platform and are mounted
at an angle that makes them
easier to find for riders with
bigger feet. Radiator shrouds
are like the previous genera-
tion, but the larger "contact
patches" around the shock,
airbox and rear number-plate
area are felt right away. The up-
dated map switch is also a nice
touch as all the control buttons
are located on one Apple-slim
clamp near your left thumb.
Release the butter-smooth
Brembo hydraulic clutch, and
it's time to spin some laps.
The start-straight at Glen
Helen Raceway was the
perfect place for the new FC
to stretch its legs. It's hard to
imagine the high-revving Aus-
trian engines being anything
