[QUOTE="Goodman4, post: 1246769, member: 28933"] Sounds to me like you may have the bug and are looking for people to talk you into it. I want to talk you into it, too, because all the positives of the FJR can quickly overcome the weight. But the question is about tight traffic NYC driving. I hate it when I end up in busy city traffic on either bike. That would be St Louis or Nashville, TN for me, so not really comparable to NYC. Neither is able to flip around in traffic with ease. I ride a Goldwing on our two up trips and I have to say I would rate it almost equal to my FJR for city driving, not from a 1 to a 5 or let alone 7, but that's my opinion. I should add that I'm 5'10" so the lower center of gravity of my blue hippo is a plus for my short legs. I hope you can justify the lack of low speed handling so you can take advantage of all the doors the FJR would open up for you. [/QUOTE]
