[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 569359, member: 3828"] I think that I do not fully understand. You are comparing a used BMW to a brand new FJR? Is that to equalize the prices? Can you get 5 years of factory warranty for the used BMW (I don't know)? I know you can for the FJR for about $350 if it is less thean 1 year old. In fact, why not consider buying one of the many used 1 or 2 year old FJR's on the market as a 3rd alternative? Many of those will come with transferable 5 year YES warranties. But, for your stated intended purpose of smooth highway riding, the FJR is head and shoulders above [I]any [/I]boxer twin. When it's time to pass that semi, the power plant on the other end of the twist grip makes all the difference. ;) You should be able to arrange for a FJR test ride at a dealership. It does vary by dealership, but they are out there. Once you actually ride one, you will only wonder one thing: "Why did I wait so long!" [/QUOTE]
