Which motorcycle to get?

[JohnT]

The FJR is on my short list, along with the Honda ST 1300. I'm coming from a '05 1200 Sportster, so either one will be a big change for me. The FJR is a little more sporty, while the ST is more comfortable (to me). I'm looking for weather protection and comfort for long hauls, along with reliability and out-of-the-box ridability. I'm leaning toward the ST, but like the FJR a lot. It's a tough choice. It will probably depend on the deal. In any case, no more cruisers for me.

No bike is made and designed to last for over 4 years or 20K miles.

Now here's a truly ignorant jackass. Lots of the dudes I ride with have Vstars in the 40-60000mile range logged on the odometer.
