I am 6'-3" and took out the demo Sprint ST while Speedy was serviced at my dealer last summer. I loved it for the little time that I could stand the riding position. You can just think your way through turns and it has lots of get-up-and-go! It was just too uncomfortable for me. It was only a 20 minute ride and I came back with a huge grin and then a grimace when I got off. The ST1300 from Honda is the way to go. Even with the stock setup, I felt I could ride for days. There are some aftermarket goodies to improve it even more. There is definitely one of those in my future. The problem is that you very seldom see used ones at a decent price. People buy them and ride them to death. I have not ridden the FJR, but have heard that anything prior to the '06 has pretty significant heat coming out the left side of the engine. I saw lots of them available last year, probably because people wanted to upgrade to the '06. I'll wait for the right deal to come up on a ST1300. It's not quite a Gold Wing, I'm not ready for that yet.


Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should just get used to that fact and relax
