So here's the deal. I have the above mentioned bikes. The 2013 S10 is fully equipped for touring, MCCruise and all. Very competent bike, but after a long day in the saddle, the tingle in my hands is almost unbearable. The FJ1200 is all ate up with motor, with zero vibrations. Not as good in the bad weather, and no luggage, or easy way to install a cruise.
With a couple of thousand bucks, what would you buy? I don't want something that will compete with the FJ as a cool short distance bike, and I wouldn't be above keeping the S10 in the bullpen next riding season, and possibly moving it along Spring 2025. Off road is off the table, for now. Street only.
Looking for something reliable (I guess that means no BMWs). It can be old, as with what I've seen in the 33 year old FJ has impressed me.
Thoughts?
