[QUOTE="Mcarver351, post: 1441564, member: 93216"] I rode the ST1300 at work for years. I loved the bike so much that I bought one after I retired. I rode it for 4 years before someone made me an offer to buy it that I couldn't refuse. I started looking at the FJR and really liked all the bells and whistles it offered. I found a 2014 FJR ES a couple months ago with only 3k miles for 8K. A deal was made over the phone and the next day I took an 800 mile fly and drive. This bike is so smooth and comfortable for my 6 foot, 200 lb frame. The heated grips have three settings and will burn your hands on the third level. I also love the fact that the manual recommends 89 octane fuel. That saves me 30 cents per gallon in California by not having to buy premium gas and I put a lot of tanks of fuel through her. I would look for a pre 2016 so you don't have to deal with the transmission recall but that is just my opinion. Others on this forum will feel differently. Good luck with your decision. [/QUOTE]
