[QUOTE="SebringSilver, post: 623269, member: 10363"] I have a BMW M3 Cabriolet with the SMG transmission. I have two paddles located on my steering wheel that I use to upshift and downshift, just like Formula One. There is a clutch, just no heavy clutch pedal; I can control my RPM’s and shifts without ever having to take my hands off the wheel. It’s great for fast, twisty North Georgia mountain roads and also for stop and go commuting. I love it…… The main thing that appealed to me about the FJR (among many) was the AE system. I, like you, never got to test-drive the bike, but I did diligent research, mostly on this Forum and I bought an ‘06 AE with 2800 miles for $7200 and I couldn’t be happier. It is very similar to my M3, with effortless control over shifting points and RPM’s. I personally feel more comfortable and confident with one less thing to worry about as I drive through crazy Atlanta traffic. I know this subject creates quite a bit of passion and debate on this Forum, and everyone is certainly entitled to his or her opinion, but I love my AE and would definitely buy another. Just shop for a good deal and I think you will be very happy. Good Luck and let us know of your decision. [/QUOTE]
