I've searched and read the vs's threads, and: I'm gonna post this same thread in the Concourse forum....
I'm 5'11" and 200lbs, wife is 5' and 120lbs. Got a dirt bike, got a good Dual Sport bike, looking for a road bike to go on 2-5 day trips on.
In '07-'10 models, FJR vs Concorse, I know both are good bikes and don't feel I can go wrong with either, but in comparing specific points, which bike is:
1) A better 2 up touring bike?? And I dont want a LT or GW or EG.
2) Which is easier to do garage maintance on?? Oil change, valves, plugs, etc??
3) Which bike excells in being easier to farkle with electric stuff?? GPS's, Hand grips, radar det, etc, Or meybe , which will run the most electrics stock??
4) Which bike is easier, or better able to set up the suspension for 2 up with luggage?? For example, I had to spend a lot of money on a Wilber's shock for my GSA to make it a good 2 up machine... Which is easier/cheaper to set up from stock for 2 up??
5) Which bike, or will either be able to pull a small trailer for 2 up camping??? Which is easiest to wire and set up a hitch for??
6) Which gets the better gas milage?? MPG's??
Thanks, I know these ?'s have prolly been asked before, but..... what else do you have to do?? To hot to ride here.
