[QUOTE="David Foley, post: 1093019, member: 30112"] The bike I am describing is not a FJR at all - it's another bike entirely. The bike I'm describing is a [U]long distance [/U]bike taken to another level. The K1600 is the closest match - and it is [U]not [/U]a "whale" by any stretch of the imagination - ride one if you can. Just don't like the reliability issues that come with it. Yamaha could do a much better job with this class of bike if they wanted to get into that market. I hope they do - I'll be the first in line. The after market stuff I bought for the FJR are for LD. I don't commute at all. If I was to buy this new wonder bike I'll be using the FJR for local/regional rides. GPS, Lights, etc. become redundant and could be resold or gifted. Riding the bike without cages or side bags would be the norm. By all accounts RDL is the best seat for LD. It's just not "classically" beautiful - IMHO. Agreed - that me and my butt would argue about "classical" beauty.
