[QUOTE="Mileage, post: 370709, member: 6829"] Steve, there is only one caveat. if you have to choose between a 2003 or a 2004 choose the 04. I have an 04 and a friend has an 03. the 03 allows a bit more heat our around your shins than the 04's do. This may make a difference if your not wearing riding pants (not jeans I mean leathers or textile motorcycle clothing made of material similar to what a jacket would be made of). This will only matter at high heat slow traffic riding times. As I see it the 2003 really does not make 'that much more' heat. Prior to the FJR I had a 2000 Concours and it was never know as a high heat ride. Back when I would ride with shorts I had to stop and put on jeans as my legs were on fire on that bike on an over 100 degree day. My point is any engine will make heat enough to be uncomfortable on a really hot day. Don't worry about the 30K mileage. I've but more miles on in one year (and I live in Michigan). Buy, ride, smile. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
