Choices in order what bike I like best

#1 Suzuki V Strom 1000 ( not the 650 V Strom )
#2 Honda Interceptor
#3 Honda ST1300
#4 Yamaha FJR1300
#5 Suzuki Burgman Executive 650

my test rides were on the V Strom, Interceptor, and Burgman

I ride with friends that own the Honda Gold Wing, Harley Road King, Suzuki SV650, and the Honda VTX1300, so my choice of a new bike must be compatible
loved the V Strom 1000, but the windshield doesn't work and the engine sounds funny
The Interceptor is almost perfect, but its an uncomfortable seating postion for me
The Burgman I fell in love with, its comfortable, quiet, no wind, you can smoke a cigarette and hear the birds singing as you ride down the highway at 70 mph, but guys will make fun of me riding a scooter
I "HATE" cruiser bikes and I hate Harley's even more!
Need a comfortable bike for long all day road trips of 200 miles or more and running 20 mph over the speed limits
my current bike is a Yamaha FZ6
one advantage I love having is a big gas tank with higher gas mileage, where the people I ride with have to stop every 60 miles for gas and I can go all day without needing to refuel
santa is dead, "SHUT UP" I don't like you!
 
my 1st pick would be the Honda ST especially with 200mile trips and 20mph over.
2nd. don't they offer a better aftermarket windsheild for the V Strom. always hearing raves about the 650Vstrom. probably my #1pick.
the others i don't really know much about.bet the FJR is great.
//i could ride a Burgman because i ride a bicycle frequently(love cutting thru parking lots and other things i can't get away with otherwise) and its definitely geeky where i live and it doesn't bother me.
of course i think people are insane which means i don't pay much attention to what others think
 
1,no matter what you do,i can see people laughing at you.
#2,200 miles @20 miles over the posted speed,and you call this an all day road trip ?lmfao
 
It is not one of your listed choices but check out the Ducati multistrada. I rode one last week and it will be my next motorcycle. I currently ride a triumph but the multistrada won me over.
