[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1449475, member: 20946"] So here I am nearly a year later. Buddy's still enjoying my old FJR, runs like a top w/perhaps 60k miles on the clock. I just returned from a 6k trip onboard the (not so) new Gold Wing and with several 10 hour days behind me, can attest once again that the Honda is a seriously comfortable machine. Reliability has been perfect thus far, as was expected. There's a huge difference in the seating position as compared to my old FJR, and I'm happy to say no more sore back or stiff neck for me. The buffeting I had to deal with on the FJR just doesn't happen onboard the Honda. After taking her from Florida to Wisconsin this summer, I can say that I'm glad that as I approach 70, I can still ride long distances without the kind of discomfort that almost made me give up riding. Picture below taken at the river that runs next to the Tail of the Dragon in eastern Tennessee.
