[QUOTE="BrettB, post: 875174, member: 14737"] I'd argue that the C14 is NOT a good platform for LD. The maintenance issues scared me off even though I think it is a beautiful bike, and if I wasn't putting on a lot of miles, so I wouldn't need to tear it apart for maintenance so often, then maybe I'd consider it. Given its maintenance though, I think its a great weekend bike, not a LD platform. My $0.02... Also, FWIW, I'm cheered when I come to work. Of the 8-15 bikes in our parking lot, of all kinds, scooters to crotch-rocket, Harley to BMW GS and everything in between, there are 3 FJRs. on average, 3/12 is a pretty good indication of how good this bike is :-) [/QUOTE]
