The fjr is a fabulous bike to ride - but there's one thing that would stop me having one as a year round commute (in standard form, anyway). The screen is bloody dreadful - I'm 6'1" and the bike (I run 2 of them for the charity) is unrideable with the screen anywhere other than in the lowest position. As soon as I start to raise it, it puts a hurricane of turbulence around my lid. Earplugs don't even start to help with the noise.
With a different screen (I'm experimenting with laminar lips at present) , it does get a lot better.
I ain't saying scratch it from your list, just be prepared to spend time & cash experimenting to get a screen setup that works for you.
(I do enjoy riding the fjrs, rocket ships!)
