[QUOTE="LDRydr, post: 788606, member: 6691"] I rode Harleys (including their Electra Glides) for 9 years before moving to my FJR. The ONLY downside is my wife liked the back seat of the H-D better. Everything else is advantage FJR. And I especially like getting asked what model of BMW I'm riding. Consider doing this: buy the FJR used, and with all the money you'll save over the H-D you can go rent an H-D touring bike when you feel like riding one, or when your ego needs propping up. You'll still come out ahead. And one thought on your comment on the resale value of the H-D. I used to say the same thing (every H-D rider does). But it's only worth that if you sell it and can find a buyer. Kinda like holding on to a stockpile of gold or guns and bragging about how high the price is. It doesn't mean squat if you don't sell it. And you won't want to be selling the FJR, so why care about the resale price? [/QUOTE]
