[QUOTE="Bill FJR, post: 1442835, member: 28564"] I love my Gen III and loved my previous Gen II. Everything good you’ve heard about the FJR is true. It is a wonderful motorcycle. That said, I wouldn’t own one of I didn’t do a lot of long-distance two-up riding on secondary roads. In that role it is truly amazing - comfortable, powerful, fast, phenomenal handling, and as reliable as an anvil. But at nearly 700 pounds it’s a whole lot of motorcycle - overkill, in my opinion, for one-up riding. So much so that as long as I’ve had an FJR, I’ve had a second smaller street bike for my one-up riding. Early ads for the FJR used the phrase “Transcontinental Supersport Touring.” Sounds about right. But less might be more if that kind of travel is not in your plans. [/QUOTE]
