[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1187391, member: 87479"] I'm about to retire my trusty 2004 BMW RT for a newer BMW RT. But I'm fascinated by the FJR (for reliability, superior warranty, and shop availability). I know it won't be all that the RT's are, but I'm curious as to how much less wind protection there really is. I ride year round, many many days in the upper 20's or 30's, and this is important to me. I also prefer a more upright riding stance. I cannot abide by being bent over like I was on a Ninja. Is this easily corrected with bar backs on an FJR, or are those simply a band aid on a bike that requires a notable forward lean? All in all, I'm trying to figure out whether giving up some refinement in exchange for japanese reliabilty and a nationwide dealer network is doable. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
