my opinion:
c-14 is the sportier one. ST1300 is the more "tour" one, and the FJR is in between.
My riding buddy just bought a used FJR (04). He needed the risers (Heli bars) in order to be comfortable and not leaned forward. Definitely the same with the c14. maybe not on the ST. I sat all three but don't remember the ST. From a style perspective, I like the c-14 then the FJR and the honda last. But from a fit perspective, I put the FJR ahead of the c-14 because of the ergonomics of my old body!
I had a chance to ride my buddy's FJR over the weekend. it was very smooth and a nice position with the risers. You'll possibly need a larger aftermarket shield for better wind protection.
