Add a couple thou and get the whole ball of wax with a 2016 ES!
Yeah - I thought about it for awhile before posting thinking I might be flagging it for someone to buy it out from under me. But I'm still procrastinating so it's my fault now if anyone buys it....I think I can settle this. Give me the contact info on the '16A, I will buy it, and then you only have one choice. You are welcome.
Smokin hot chicks stopping by make RED a no brainer!!!Hi Russ! Hope you & yours are doing well! I voted 2016 pretty much based on what I would perceive as better $value$ ... although my 2014 Red gets more complements than any other motorcycle I have ever owned. It's crazy. I can stop in the middle of nowhere and, outta nowhere, some smoking hot chick walks by, makes eye to eye contact, smiles, winks, and says "nice bike!"
Wow! that is certainly a massive "Pro" when it comes to deciding between bikes. Never suspected that the black bike I have now is the main reason I do so poorly with "smokin hot chicks"! I always thought it was my gray hair, increasing waist line and lack of money that were the primary excuses to use....Smokin hot chicks stopping by make RED a no brainer!!!Hi Russ!

I love the RED bike in concept... LOOKS GREAT!men and women alike would gaze at the Guzzi, backs turned to the FJR.
A poll was started about the reliability of the ES suspension and the few over 50k miles see no significant change from new. Many others have 25-50k with no issues. Longevity does not appear to be a valid concern from our experience. The suspension will outlast most rider's willingness ride one bike.You will eventually blow out the shocks and cartridges. So what is the future costs for new or rebuilt A vs ES? How often do you think you will want to change the settings on your suspension? I have a GP Suspension with Penske rear shock. I just set it and forget it but that's just me. I never ride two up. And I'm kinda old so I'm not a fast hotshot rider either. My chicken strips are nothing to be proud of.

Anyone know how long an ES suspension typically lasts?
