Have had a 2004 FJR since late 2003. Really enjoyed it, but thought it was time for a change. Rode a friends 2013 and what a difference in smoothness at 80MPH. (6th gear is a huge difference no matter what the FJR guys say about the tall 5th gear, not even close) Going to fly in a pick up a 2010 and ride it home, about 1700miles, should be interesting. Lots of goodies already on the bike and have some goodies on order.
