MY brother has a 2016 or 2017. Cranberry and silver. Nice bike and I would put it in the CB1100 class as far as just running around bikes, but personally I'd rather have the CB 1100 (and do).
As far as the FJR? I just got a 2018, and imo for just riding around, it's way overkill. IF you are not going to be running some high speed 10 hour days, pointed toward the horizon, kinda crazy to have a liquid cooled, shaft drive, 145 horsepower 600 pound plus, high speed train in the garage.
Just my opinion.

If I had Ferret money I’d love to have an FJR also after reading that description above.
I’ve managed to postpone foot surgery for 6 months so I picked up a lightly used 2010 NT 700V Thursday afternoon. I had made a deal on a NC700 automatic a few weeks ago in GA but the deal fell thru.
Took the new bike out today for a shakedown rige and it was great, good handling, good wind protection and average 61 mpg over 200 miles at 55 to 75 mixed riding
Can’t post photo for some reason
