i also have an '06 FJR-AE, great bike. i put a russell day-long seat on it,,now it's the complete tourer. you can ride while it's cool [december] and see there isn't any heat problem. the power IS impressive, smooth ride also. mine has heated hand grips [ not needed in ms.]and anti-lock brakes, which i do like. i can recommend the FJR,,,i put my money where my mouth is. i don't ride like there is demons after me, i average 50.6 mpg., bullet-proof reputation,beautiful bike,,,,what's not to like????
