[QUOTE="jride, post: 614996, member: 15900"] my last bike was a kawasaki mean streak i had the same issues with buffeting so i rode without a windshield most of the time. i did finally buy a fly screen which did help a little and didn't cause buffetting. I recently bought the FJR i also was looking at th c14 and did do a test ride on 1 it is a nice bike extreamly smooth engine. I also test rode the FJR and 3 bmw's and a triumph sprint st. after rideing the triumph the c14 seemed huge, the fjr felt smaller to me, the fairing isn't as wide. I really liked the sprint but i just couldn't get past the chain final. I probably would have bought the bmw k1300s if they would have taken my bike in on trade but they didn't so i went and test rode the fjr again and bought it. I have to admit that the first day i had it i was sorry i bought it but now i have about 1400mi on it and i love the way it rides and i don't get the back and leg aces i got on my mean streak. I do however feel more heat than i ever did on the mean streak. ALL in ALL i like the fjr and the more i ride it the better i like it. NOw i just need too get a better seat and windscreen. Oh and the vibration isn't that bad if you relax and don't grip tight or lean on the grips you will be ok. [/QUOTE]
