Nicely done!! Enjoy both bikes.
Good looking scooter...you'll wear out your foot more shifting to that sixth gear....I would bet the ST ends up sitting long periods of time, the FJR is just such a hoot to ride...love mine........congrats......ff
Hello,
Would you be willing to share your experience and describe the main differences between the bikes. I am looking to purchase either of the 2. I am 5'10 with an 30 inch inseam. I am looking for the difference in seating position, reach to the ground for maneuvering (dropped my Africa Twin several times from a standstill and uneven ground/single track). I have read the ST turns into the corners easier and the FJR needs to be manhandled a little more making the ST a more effortless ride in twisties? I am thinking an FJR with bar risers and setting in "soft" and comparing that to the ST. Are they pretty close? Also, wind protection for riding all winter and road noise will be contributing factors. Thanks in advance.

Congrats on a very nice bike! I look forward to hearing your compression of both bikes after you have spent enough time on your new one.
It is shame the ST did not get all the upgrades the FJR got.
