I always wanted one last big bike before I hang up my leathers. After 550 miles, I still prefer the Burgman. At interstate speeds the fjr definately hold the line better than my burg. I was surprised though just how similiar the two bikes rode. In some ways this surprised me. The burg definitely has a lower center of gravity which partly accounts for the difference in rides. The Burgman is 10 times more convenient than the fjr. The under seat storage holds almost twice as much as the fjr. The two trunks of the fjr are deceivingly small. The under seat storage and my givi trunk could easily store a weeks worth of riding. This included my Nikon D800, zoom lens in a camera bag.
I am now keeping my eye open for a late model burg with low miles. My wife will probably not speek to me for a couple of weeks but then again that might be a plus. I don't jump on the fjr to do my "hony dos" any more! The burg is probaby the best all around machine that I have ever had. I suppose I am experiencing some buyer remorse. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.
