[QUOTE="SDave1969, post: 1368855, member: 89207"] Agreed on everything. I had my brother fly in and take a tour with me into the Great Smokys a few weeks ago. I rode my M109r and he rode the FJR. After 1 hour, he was screaming at me over our headsets that his butt hurt and we HAD to pull over. I have a Corbin seat and a gel pad on the FJR and have grown accustomed to them. After that first stop, the seat was not a problem for him. We did several 2 hour runs that week and he only complained at the end of them. I typically run a full tank on the FJR before becoming uncomfortable on the bike. He normally rides a Kawi big V twin, which I refer to as a LaZyBoy on wheels, and he loved the FJR, as do I. I put 11k miles in one year on it and then changed the tires to PR4GT. Made the bike feel like new again, although it never felt old during the first year. I plan on putting another 11k on the FJR this year, mostly in NC/TN/VA mountains, so trying to burn off any chicken strips... [/QUOTE]
