Welcome from the Big Apple. 
your first?
didn't drove all the bikes, so don't know them all, most are less heavy, but i can understand after 2 hr riding that people put another seat on it, 280kg is heavy and if you're tall, risers are needed, and you are still in the rain even with the screen on top position, slow driving isn't a pleasure with 280 kg below you and if you are large, you see your arms in the mirrors so it is not perfect for me
but it is a nice bike to ride with, just that you drive more then the limits before you know
and never, never empty your fuel tank , because he is to heavy to push
but it is a great bike
did i mentioned that it's a heavy bike?

I guess everything is relative. The FJR is lighter than most of the other bikes I've owned. And while riding it doesn't feel heavy to me at all.

Yes my first. Came off a 2002 Goldwing. Goldwing did not "fit" me. The fjr is about as perfect as it gets. I've had many street bikes and the fjr with the more sporty postion is the most comfortable for me.
Ditto. I came from 3 different models of Gold Wings. GL1100, GL1200, and GL1500. The FJR was a featherweight at about 300# lighter.
I get immense joy from riding it slowly. I practice a lot in parking lots doing tight circles, slaloms, u-turns and the like. I’m a pretty small guy at 5’6” and 130lbs on a good day, so making the FJR dance around beneath my small stature looks that much more impressive lol
Did that the last time I took an MSF:ERC class. Had the FJR (bags off) doing the S-boxes they usually reserved for the BRC 250cc bikes.
wait, you have got other bikes then the fjr??
Heck ya. Love those drills. I got the cages so I could leave the bags on and not worry so much about dropping it. Having the cages gave me the confidence to really push it.
