#289489 ZoomZoom (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 78 Long distance riding 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I have a question: Are cruisers more comfortable long distance bikes or Sport Touring bikes like Yamaha FJR ? regards M Khan   Logged     Beware of Quacks: www.Quackwatch.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #289497 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Long distance riding 1 Year, 11 Months ago   It depends on which riding position you like best, etc. Each type has its pros and cons. You'll need to try both to see what suits you best. It's a personal preference.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #289505 MitchellNJ (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 331 Re:Long distance riding 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Goldwing FTW!

The FJ has your feet under your seat, where the RoadStar has them in recliner position, farther ahead of you. I'd think the FJ has better seating comfort, as the stock Star seat is only marginal if your larger than a fit athletic type. A bigger seat like a Danny Grey might be the ticket on the Star, and I'v heard good things about Mustang stuff. My choice would be the FZ for interstate, also don't dismiss the Concours model from Kawasaki, they seem to have a huge following. I think the KEY thing on any bike that your going to tour with is finding a comfy seat, then address the handelbar grips for vibration related numbness of the hands. Pluss a windshield makes all the difference in the world, boy did I get spoiled with the Silverado.   Logged     Slow awake Fast asleep   The administrator has disabled public write access. #289592 ZoomZoom (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 78 Re:Long distance riding 1 Year, 11 Months ago   GoHot229: Have you done some long distances on the Silverado? I have not done any long trips on my R*, but last week I did a 2800 miles round trip from NJ to Key West Fl, on my Motoguzzi. I developed a case of monkey butt but the rest was fine. Is the R* good for interstate travels?

Just returned from riding in Ark. for several days. I had to put them to bed everynight. They could not make it home non-stop. Me and the RS with Ultimate seats made it home, only stopping for gas and food.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #289632 tommy421960 (User) TOO MUCH CROME TOO LITTLE TIME Fresh Boarder Posts: 87 Re:Long distance riding 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Well i sold a goldwing and bought my rs.
