As for ride, smooth, fast, comfortable and great handling! Gee that is the main reason I ride!
Windscreens grips and seats are easlily changed to fit the rider. ( I only changed the windscreen to a Cee Bailey mini euro.)
The transmission is the smoothest I've every ridden. ( 40plus years)
And fuel economy!! I regularly get 44 to 48 MPG. At constant 80 MPH on the expressway it will average 44 all day long.
C14's are hard to beat for smooth, fast, and comfortable.
And a change to PR2's ( pilot road 2's when the bridgestones wear out the bike handles even better!)

My opinion of course, but I think your being a little harsh on the Yamaha FJR. It is a very nice bike. I'd probably already have one if it had a 6 speed.
