Saw the new 2013 FJR at our dealers this morning and liked the looks. The fairing is wider than GenIIs but doesn't have that "whaleshark" look like the Concourse. The various switches on the bars are going to require some re-education because of the new added functions, but wont be as bad as switching to Windows 8. The color, a Pearl Grey, looks rich, but?
I could have rode home on her today but my rain gear was at home and it was really raining today and not our usual mist. Besides, that would have left my truck in their parking lot. I do have the first "OptionToBuy" when the next bike shows up in February. That gives me plenty of time think about that color and just how badly do I want see 100,000 miles on my 2010. Also, my newly installed Krista's would stay on my 2010 as I don't see how the mirror brackets would fit on this new 2013 fairing.
Well, 3 months to think about all those new bells and whistles vs my 2010's approach of "Keep it simple, Stupid". :huh:
