[QUOTE="yamaguzzi, post: 614874, member: 18556"] I have a 2002 R1150RT that I bought new and now have 64K on it. I just got a 2009 FJR. I almost went with an R1200RT but at the last minute I decided to get the FJR. My decision was based on several things: I had demo'd the FJR and liked it, the FJR would was several (I think at least 4) thousand less, questions about the BMW drivetrain, desire for a change, never heard anything bad about the FJR. I'm still in the deciding stage, as I am a long term BMW rider, but the FJR is growing on me. I got the larger Yamaha windscreen, but I am not that happy with it and may have to go with an even taller one, or one with a different curve. Enough of my helmet is in the turbulence to make a lot of annoying noise at speed. I got the heated grips, installed a Zumo mount and accesory outlets, so I'm planning on keeping it and riding it. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the comparison of the two bikes, which you prefer for what kind of ride, and why you have two sport touring bikes, if I'm not getting too personal. [/QUOTE]
