The ol' FJRs seem to be a fan favourite at other motorcycle forums too.

What's not to like? It a big I-4 (like a CB1100 on roids) with a wide usable range of power, plenty of grunt and top speed, and amenities like a full fairing with auto adjusting windshield, removable factory bags and luggage rack, and shaft drive...plus in the newer models (2016 -22)6 speed trans, traction control, cruise control, abs, slipper clutch etc. I bought mine brand new in 2018 for $14,500 when they were asking about $10K for a CB1100EX. Compared to a similarly equipped BMW tourer at $25K it was a bargain IMO.

I've had two fjr's in the past and they are a perfect fit for me and I really like them. I also like the 1100rs but its not as comfortable to be honest, maybe that's down to me but the footpegs seem to be to high or the seat to low. I've noticed this more so after having a winter on my cb500x which is very comfortable.
Quick call to my insurance and surprisingly the FJR is cheaper than the 1100rs so £50 back to me.
Not much sleep tonight I guess as I need to decide what to do
I just wish had the chance to buy an RS. I would have probably bought one of those too. But, I am going to be selling my 2014 DLX here in Texas. I will probably try to set it up later today, Michael.
