Well put, I think for now I will keep the fjr, I just wanted opinions on it thats all. The only negative I have on my 05 fjr is the heat, other than that its a great bike, im going to take a 3 day trip on the fjr and after reading these posts I definatly dont want to own a warrior for that, my only mod im going to get for the trip is one of those alasken seat cushins,or maybe one of those beaded ones, im still undecided.I had a highly modified 02 warrior. Big tire conversion, raked trees, 108 CI Orient Express engine, etc etc. You couldn't even recognize it as a warrior. Loud fast and expensive. Not as fast as my FJR, but through three gears I could take on anything. I did not find rides up to 150 miles too bad. No wind protection so you NEED a full faced helmet otherwise the wind and engine noise will kill ya. Heat? Ride for an hour and then get caught at a long stop light. Let's just say I was glad I was beyond having children due to the heat that monster put out. Vibration on mine was minimal (for a v-twin). I really liked my warrior, but spent way too much money on it. The reason I sold? Wanted to do something other than the custom bike/cruiser scene. It got boring fast.
My 2 cents as well.
Thanks for all the responces.
