Hmmmm.....tough call on the looks. They're actually very similar. I like
the way Aprilia integrates the turn signals into the side mirrors.
Engines are VERY different and although the FJR appears dominant on paper,
the V-Twin power and sound can hook you! Shit, I guess I'll just have to
wait until I can ride them both! :^) Even then, I believe the GTS will win
out when you consider that it's, well......it's PAID FOR and suits my needs
exceptionally well! Same reasons why I've been able to fight off my urges
for a K1200RS the past 2 years.

I like it! They fixed the one thing that I didn't like in the previous
pictures that I had seen. Look at these pictures:

I hated that blacked-out rear they put on their preliminary models. Still,
at $12,999, I think I'll just continue to ride around on my antiquated
GTS1000. :^)
Hey, the instruments on the Futura are pretty cool too!

You guys have to check out the new Aprilia RST. Not bad for a twin from
Europe. You would think that Yamaha would get there act together.
