So two things:
1: No one here is ditching the Multistrada because of an adjustable windshield. The Multistrada has less range, takes premium fuel, has shorter maintenance intervals, has chain drive, less luggage capacity and less weather protection. I know...I looked. Hard!
What does that mean? As a long distance all-around ST, the Multi falls short of the FJR in most of our opinions. However, its a nice bike and if it floats your boat, good for you.
2: You dorks that won't stop bitching about a 6th gear have NO idea what the **** you are talking about. Go read up and learn how transmissions and gearing work. Then go look at the RPM of other SPORT TOURERS in sixth gear at a freeway speeds. The FJR runs lower RPM than most if not all of them with its measly 5 gears.
If you want 6 gears go buy a Concourse or BMW. Then you can go to those Forms and find something else to bitch about!
