vs FJR???

[betoney]

@LizN - I too have longer legs, 33-34" inseam and find the FJ/Tracer quite comfortable.  Highway pegs even add to the comfort.👍

Yep. Similar. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to test ride now. Just quite a big decision after 20 years.

Motorized windscreen, operated with a push button.  A lot of the bigger touring bikes have that feature.

Electric screens can be useful. In 1997 I had a R1100RT loaner for a month. Eventually I found myself on one of those remote Nevada highways with nothing but straight, empty road stretching out 40+ miles in front of me. I was able to ride for quite a while with the throttle pinned in top gear. I discovered that I could adjust the motorcycle's top speed using the windshield switch. Interestingly, I found that the highest speed was achieved with the shield raised about 25% up from its lowest setting.

I also discovered that yes, it is possible to completely roast a new sport touring tire in one weekend.

You get an FJR as a 'work vehicle'?  Not too shabby. 👍

Volunteer role. Urgent blood deliveries, but not emergency. We’re not allowed to use the blue lights, but still cool though.

Yes, especially considering it’s something we can do with one hand....

The Puig motorized screen has 3x the travel, it adjusts slightly lower and quite a bit higher than the factory mount.

6cm above the high point, and 2cm below the low.  That's pretty impressive, and makes it more competitive vs. buying a huge barn-door windscreen.  I imagine still pretty spendy though.
