[QUOTE="FJReady, post: 1358784, member: 465"] Buy the FJR, you'll be a happy rider. And don't let the greased spline issue dissuade you. Greasing of the splines is a 30 minute (tops) process when you're changing the rear tire. I usually do it every other tire change. I cannot recall ever seeing a failure of an FJR drive shaft spline due to lubrication. I've seen some ugly ones (pictures posted here) of rusty splines but those were on bikes with pitiful maintenance schedules. The FJR is notoriously easy to maintain and has a rock solid reliability reputation. Be prepared to deal with a little more engine performance than you've been used to. Those BMW twins are sweet but they can't be accused of pulling your arms out of their sockets. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
