[QUOTE="justacrossthehill, post: 1447043, member: 92816"] I have a Road King for 2 up so the FJR feels like a featherweight when I'm on it. Everything is a compromise and I decided long ago that "dual purpose" really means not being great at anything. A friend owned a Versys 650 and after riding it, I want no part of anything "Versys". It wasn't a good street bike and certainly wasn't an off road bike either. The FJR is a very hard bike to equal and I doubt if it can be beaten for what you want to do. It worked for us until my wife's knee problems started. For her, the Road King is much more comfortable. The FJR is staying though, I did over 300 miles on it today and it's a keeper for sure. BTW, here's your answer, "She LOVED the FJR". [/QUOTE]
