[QUOTE="Dunc, post: 1446983, member: 92917"] Confirming all and adding to the last post, my wife rides a 19 Versys with ES and it is a wonderful place to spend a long time. On a long ride I take a turn on her bike to give my legs a change of scenery, I'm on a 13 FJ no ES. Steering is so light compared to the FJ, effortless. Seat looks wide but still not the leg splitter the stock FJ has. Ride position for the legs is nicer (34" inseam) on the V. ES susp is so good you don't know it is working, till I switch back to the FJ and feel every crack in the road. Wind hits more on the V, arms seem out in the airflow compared to the FJ. Does not have the low end pull of the FJ but once you get the revs up it fly's and sounds nice. I like how the FJ looks and feels when you twist it, but the longer the ride the more I would like the V. Not sure how the 18 V compares to the 19. [/QUOTE]
