It would be a tough call for me. The only real long-distance touring I've done is on rented R1200GS' with big square boxes on them. I snag MotoQuest's "Transport Special" deals when they are available, to move their rental bikes between locations. They are comfy, eat up miles with no issues, but having owned BMWs, I like being able to deliver the bike at its destination and walk away from it.
I'd love an FJR, but realistically, an NC700 or 750 would be ideal for me based on my limited bike storage spaces in the garage and the ease of using it on my daily commute as well. There was a very clean one near me a few months ago that had factory side and top boxes, and I was seriously considering it, but knew that it would mean selling my Bonnie or the CB, since I don't have room for a third.
However... my wife has made the point that now that she works from home, we could get away with having one car. That would make some more room in the garage!
