There's certainly no shortage of riding comparisons between the FJR and the ST...of which the ST often comes out on the losing end...not only by folks here but in many motorcycling mags. But I haven't seen one comparing the FJR and the new Concours. Is there one? Has anyone here ridden...

Great advice from everyone, thank you. Don't want anyone to think my wife isn't an experienced rider. We've done an Iron Butt together, 1,500 mile vacations from NC to Amish country in PA on the bike, nearly 900 mile weekend rides. I'm real proud of how she musters through it all. Even on...
