How do you find the yamie Tackleberry? A mate has one and wishes he had the Honda. Is it any better than the BMW?
Very simple answer in part the Yammie stomps all over the BMW except for one area, which is the ABS brakes in my own opinion. Comfort is a personal preference, so I can't comment on what somebody else may think, but I have ridden to Camooweal and return for work and think the FJR is comfortable. In my own opinion I would have one in the garage without hesitation, may even buy the current one if the finances are right.
Having been at a location that had a BMW R1200, Honda ST1300 & Yammie FJR1300 I can tell you that it really will come down to preference on a few things. The Yammie definitely has the acceleration over the other two. (Don't ask how I know) The BMW is really high off the ground, with some good ground clearance if you don't just ride paved roads, but making it difficult to mount on uneven ground (I'm 6' so not that short). Having ridden the ST1300 & FJR1300, I really didn't have a preference as they both have pluses & minuses.
Even the bloke that rides the ST1300 in T/ville bought my bike back from a service and commented on the acceleration compared to the ST. He almost lost the rear coming out of a corner as he accelerated. I have owned two Blackbirds and compare the acceleration on the FJR to the fuel injected B/bird, as does the other FJR rider who just happened to have owned both Blackbirds before me.
