[QUOTE="Ken_SWOhio, post: 1385979, member: 29237"] Hi - Im thinking of getting back into FJR1300 ownership - had a 2010 I sold a few years ago. Choice is between a 15 and 16. I saw an earlier thread where the choice was between a 14 and 16 but, just in case someone has something to add - Questions are: 1. Does the ES version make a significant difference to a reasonably proficient but not expert rider like myself who will use it mainly for commuting and an annual trip to Deals Gap, as well as occasional trips through local twisties? 2. The new transmission for 16 - is it a big improvement from 15 because of the different gear ratios, refinement (I recall my 10 was a bit clunky in either 1st or 2nd), and the addition of a sixth gear? 3. Any concerns about buying a new bike which has been sitting for a couple of years? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
