[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1412264, member: 91458"] A vs ES is a matter of taste or preference. I've got it, I like it now that I've set it for my preferences.There is a learning curve involved. The A's fine once it's set up correctly ("one and done" process). Having now put on some (four wheel) miles in TX, NM, and AZ after coming from "back east", the roads are long, straight, and generally stop being interesting in a hurry. Low cruising speeds not recommended. There can be a [I]long[/I] way between gas stops. Good fuel economy is recommended. See above re: mileage. +1 on the LED lighting. Marker LED's have approximately a 50,000 hour life expectancy (6 years with 24/7 use). They do fade with age, but their service life may approach the service life of the bike itself (before needing some overhauling). LED headlights, and high output LED's in general, generate a lot of heat. Heat is the enemy of all electronics. Assume a service life of somewhat less than half that of the other LED's. Depending on how heat dispersion is done (typically with a high speed fan - dunno how the FJR LED's do it), any active cooling could fail first. [/QUOTE]
