[QUOTE="bgross, post: 1187409, member: 21321"] As mentioned above, ' cycle-ergo.com ' will give you a good idea of how you'll sit. Don't forget to plug in your height & weight. My 'other' bike is a Wingabago, which I rode for a decade before getting an FJR. Comfortable ergos and wind protection compromises were the to things I was concerned about in adding the FJR to the stable. To say that I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. My first ride (other than a Yamaha factory team test ride) was the day I did a fly & ride: 420 miles home in mostly 40 degree temps. Yeah, an electric vest would have been nice that day (the '03 FJR I bought has a small OEM screen) but my only disappointment was that the ride had to end! There are a number of aftermarket screens for the FJR which will extend the protection in even lower temps. But for me... The FJR is my choice for any ride, any day. But we don't have winter here, so I'll let others chime in. [/QUOTE]
