[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1278496, member: 28773"] I think the first two responses you got pretty much sum up the whole truth. Fred just used pictures which should have been simple enough for everyone to understand. I will add a couple thoughts though. You mentioned that you are 66 and that the ST1300 was "too much bike". My Dear Old Dad is 70 and is very comfortable on his '07 FJR. Do not let age be a deciding factor as to what bike you ride. The ST1300 is about 80 pounds heavier than the FJR but you will rarely notice it. The big Honda carries most of its fuel under the seat so it actually feels light and easy steering at parking lot speeds. If you want more weather protection, the ST has that. You will notice the weight difference when you are pushing the cornering limits of the ST. It will drag its pegs and struggle to follow the FJR in the twisties. What you are really looking at is moving up to current technology. The FJR is a great bike to replace the old style Connie. [/QUOTE]
