[QUOTE="FJR Rich, post: 574144, member: 14064"] I had a '05 R1200RT. It had/has lots of power. My issue is that I'm 6'3" but more upper body. The bike is already tall and I couldn't find an aftermarket windshield that would work without the "barn door" affect on handling. Also, the seating area caused a lot of pain to "the boys", even after getting a Day-Long seat. So, the bike was a bad fit FOR ME. These issue crept up on me because I took the RT on at least 4 test rides and didn't notice any issues, other than wind noise. I was very happy for awhile. But then.... :( However, I never had an issue passing any one on the street or highways; It moves! I now have the '08 FJR with a Rifle w/s and Day-Long seat and have no compliants at all in comfort, power or handling. HTH, Rich [/QUOTE]
