[QUOTE="Dunc, post: 1451379, member: 92917"] R1250GS. Just made the switch 6 weeks ago. So they both sit side by side now till the spring. BMW is a way more comfortable place to sit, eats up road bumps like magic. Wife has a newer Versys 1000 which I thought was more comfortable than the FJR just didn't want to admit it to her, now the BMW has taken that spot. Miss the FJR pull in the second half of the rev range! Replaced it with tons of torque in the lower end. Will not miss the weight of the FJR steering when I need to turn but when no turns I will miss that cruise missile roll on. BMW attracts more attention than I expected, not so happy about that, and fingers crossed does not dent my wallet too much. Not sure you can replace the FJR, it is special. More like just wanting to try something else and hope it wasn't the wrong choice. Like relationships :) [/QUOTE]
