For me, the critical factor is the same that many, many of us face: how to afford/finance the bike.
If I hadn't gone ape-shit last July ('05) and scored a brand new R1, I could probably handle the payments.
Ain't no way I can handle two bike payments.
And I seem to be unwilling to part with the R1. The Blackbird is going NO WHERE, that bike I will keep for many years to come. That leaves the salvage-titled FJR as a trade-in.... even if a Kawi dealership is generous and give me a hellva trade-in for it, I still don't thing I could fly the two bike notes.
Regardless, I don't care for the way Yamaha is apparently taking the FJR.... it is starting to drift decidedly more to the "touring" end of the sport-touring spectrum. This 2006 model has bloated up over 60 lbs (dry) from my 2003 model!

Do you think there will be some of these in Daytona during bike week for test rides?

Possibly. They will be touring around the country at the various bike shows all winter, so, I could see that it could be possible there might be one at Daytona. Hard to say, really...
