This is way off topic, but I don’t know where else to go. Forgive me. Here goes. The XT1200 is perfect for the crappy roads here in Central America. Am going into my 4th full year.......95% 2-up 10 day trips. Am moving back to the US in 2 yrs and would appreciate some help from you more experienced riders for my final all-around bike. Would be mostly week-long trips, some day rides, and one trip around the US...God willing. Am 76, 6’1”, 175#. Wifie is 5’7” and 130#. Ride 90% conservatively, with occasional dusting off a Harley. Yamaha and Honda only, if you please. My previous bike was a 2012 Honda Valkyrie. Loved it. Love this ST, too. But different purposes. We hate top cases. Am zeroing in on the FJR1300 or the new Honda CTX1300. I think I (we?) could maybe be happy with either one. Opinions? Thanks very much for helping an old-timer. Much appreciated. Scott, Roatan, HN
