FJR 1300, Yamaha's sporty sister shaft driven bike to the Super Tenere. I've had a short demo ride on one of the newest gen (2016?) years ago and really liked it. Comfortable, fairing and windscreen seem to offer decent wind protection, pulls like a freight train, maybe a little hefty but fun. Anyway I'm looking hard at them recently, even went to a local dealer to check out a nice used one, but it had sold.
It seems like many owners of both bikes have experience with the other so I wanted to ask those who have put in some miles your opinions.
So putting the versatility and off road capability of the Tenere aside...
How does the sport handling/sport touring character, and wind protection of the FJR, compare to a flashed S10 (or stock S10) on sporty road rubber?
Also, how they are to live with for day rides and around town?
