Like several others on the forum, I finally let go my 2014 FJR1300ES this past weekend.
I kept the FJR when I bought my 2017 Super-T not knowing which one I would like better for street only riding. I rode them back to back many times. I was amazed how small and heavy the FJR felt. The Super-T is just more nimble, roomy, and comfy – plus it can go more places. I like the option to be able to stand on the pegs every once in a while too. On the dirt roads I’ve tried with it, the Super-T is very stable.
I will miss the power windshield and the electric motor like power of the FJR. It is very nice looking machine – especially in red. The Super-T is a bit more agricultural. A fellow Super-T owner said to me at the New York MC show in December while we were looking at the 2018 model, “no one is ever going to get lucky riding a Super Tenere” – but that’s ok. I enjoy riding it more – and that’s what it's all about.
