[QUOTE="MotoMike, post: 1442845, member: 92743"] HA! I have to laugh. When I was 51 y.o., I, too, used to enjoy long-distance cycling. Then I got a motorbike. It was a new-to-me Honda 2004 ST1300A. I figured, as you do, that I could scout routes for cycling. Well, after spending the summer scouting routes and not riding those routes on the bicycle, the bicycle got hung on the wall for the winter and has not been down since! It turns out that my wife, who did not share my enthusiasm for bicycling, did very much enjoy riding pillion and I enjoyed having a pastime that we both could share. That ST1300 was definitely on the touring side of the sport-touring spectrum. I now ride a new-to-me 2007 FJR1300A. Definitely on the sport side of the spectrum. I also do my own maintenance on the motorbikes. The FJR is much easier to work on than the ST1300. My pillion prefered riding the ST1300 over riding pillion on the FJR1300, but the difference is definitely not a deal-breaker for her. [/QUOTE]
