I've had mine almost 5 months and finally got the wife to go along on a 3 day trip into Arkansas. First off she was surprised how much stuff she could put in one saddlebag; also being able to pack a liner then just stow it in the saddlebag - pop it put at the hotel. She is 5'-4" and had a little trouble getting on/off at first then got the hang of it (last bike had a lower seat). No complaints about the ride. We did about 250-300 miles/day of back roads and managed pretty good fuel mileage, 43-44mpg; not bad for hauling us up and down hills with all the power it has.......better than a Gold Wing. And when you need the power to climb a steep hill or pass a motorhome in a short distance, you got!
Get to a dealer and try one on. You will likely take it home. One other note about this past weekend in Arkansas, lots of HD's, some GoldWings, a handfull of Beemers, only FJR I encountered was mine. Had several of those riders asking questions about the FJR. Love it more each time I climb on.
