Interesting, that is the first time I have ever heard a 
motorcycle jacket not being covered.

Depends on the Japanese bike, I would have considered a V-Strom, 
the Suzuki V-Twin has a lot of soul, of course YMMV.

Yup, even the ducs and Aprilla's are getting a bit carried away. 
again YMMV, the FJR is right on that line for me.

It all depends on what you want, I considered getting a Tiger 
for my trip up to YT next summer, an honestly it would be great 
for shorter jaunts, I just could not imagine spending 900 miles 
a day on it. Where the ST and FJR, no worries.

Speaking of which, will you be healed (sic) enough to be able to 
ride it up for the motorcycle show?
