Hello all,

I have been a full sportbike rider for a lot of years (R1/R6 for many of them) but, as I am no longer as young as I used to be, I'm looking for a more comfortable commuter/travel bike. Pretending the cost didn't matter, would you think a 2012 (last year of GenII) or (2013 first year GenIII) would be the way to go for a bike I plan to keep/use a lot?

Yes, cruise control or not as I see it is the only big dif...

Cruise control would be worth it for me. I friggen loved my cruise control. So nice.

I'm on my third FJR and second GEN II no complaints with any of them. If money were no object and cruise control...GEN III wins out.

Thanks for the thoughts, I was leaning the same way. I think I would like the throttle-by-wire and cruise, but wonder would all the electronics be a liability later in life; first year bikes after a big change can have some bugs. I also really want it blue, so that's what's pulling me back to 2012.
