Better choice is a 2013-up FJR or a later RT........ if you need to know anything about FJR's lemme know.

Just did a 25 year anniversary ride. 25 years ago I bought my ST1100 on the 25th of March 25 2000 so I went on a 200 miles RTE to see my friends near Stlouis Mo.

Shouldn't it have been 225 miles? (or 250)

My neighbor sold his Yamaha ST and purchased a 1400 Kawasaki, .
He sold it and purchased a Kawasaki Versys 1000 and has been so much happier.
He says its lighter, handles better, and he can pack more stuff on it when camping.

When I was shopping for a sport-touring bike from a Jap maker, I kept hearing that Hondas were more comfortable but the Kawi Concours were sportier, more for aggressive riding in the mountains. But I've never ridden one. I sat on an older Concours 1000, and it felt OK in the parking lot.

As for the Versys 1000, a friend who has a Goldwing 1500 and that Versys says he really likes the smaller bike, even for long trips.
Last year when I had a V-twin cruiser and he had those two bikes of his, we rode together a bit, and he ended up completing a SaddleSore 1000 on the Versys, whereas I had to drop out of my attempt due to a coolant leak on my bike.
