[QUOTE="Jay Evers, post: 1464445, member: 99198"] Enn, After buying and loving my new 2006 FJR, I sold it just 2 years later to buy yet another bike on my bucket list. I was 42 y/o and regretted selling her. So much so that I began looking for another FJR and I bought a beautiful Satin blue 2018 ES with just 3k miles. It didn't take me long to realize that I'm not 42 anymore. I'm 59 now and my knees and wrist can't take the riding position inherent to the FJR. Don't get me wrong, out of the 50+ bikes I have owned, the FJR is still at the top of the list for my favorite bike. I purchased a really nice 2016 BMW R1250GS (my 2nd GS) this past November and I have put on 3k pain free miles. The upright riding position is the key to comfort, for me anyway. I think you had the right type of bike, but you had the wrong engine. Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope you find what's comfortable for you! [/QUOTE]
