Growing old disgracefully
I sat on a 2014 FJR 1300 AE (new) yesterday at the Yamaha dealers.
Looking at finances...
The weight is only slightly more than the Deau, 291kg, fully fueled etc.
The seat height is lower
The width is greater
The seating position is nearly the same
The price is, erm, a lot - nearly double what I paid for my Deauville (accessorised) 5 years ago!

Things I still need to check:
- Panniers how big are they etc. They weren't on the bike in the showroom
- The Yamaha Topbox looks a bit small, I need to check it (or get a Givi 46L though I would prefer the Yamaha one)
- Test Ride for over 45 minutes to check my shoulder (old biking accident - can't ride sports bikes any longer )
- Position for DRLs
