New to the board, great stuff, thanks for letting me join.
I'm 6'5" and have ridden for about 10 years on touring stuff (goldwings, etc) and rode dirtbikes as a kid. Wife has a cruiser (harley softail deluxe) but I'm not into my forearms being numb after 5 hours of vibration.
Was overseas (just retired out of the AF) and haven't ridden in about 4 years, but am intrigued by the sport touring bikes, especially the FJR. Just completed a MSF course with the wife (spousal support, the good kind), and one of the instructors had a FJR. Really liked the style, and he had nothing but good words, however, he was about 6'0". I love long tours, but hate the crouched over feeling.
Any other tall riders own an FJR? I'd like to hear from ya.
