Yes Sir! Fun bikes!
FJR1300. Love it, and will get another one.
How are they for small commutes?
I was thinking about getting something small and cheap for now, probably in the 600-800 range for now (4cylinder) since my commute is just 2.5miles and I don't expect to ride a lot for the time being.
I intend to get to the point of riding a lot, but my wife is just getting to the point of being comfortable with me being back on two wheels after wrecking it right before we got engaged.

I bought it in 2007 or 2008 I believe. I used to commute on it all the time down in Dallas and I loved it (still do). When I moved back up here I started going on rides with my brother and he likes to go for 3-4 (or more) hour rides. As much as I love the 919, I'm not built for 3-4+ hour rides on it. Just can't bring myself to sell it though because I love getting on empty back roads and opening it up. :-)
Great for commuting...short or long distances.
got a slew of bikes, but main rides are 1981 BMW R80 G/S and 2007 KTM 525 EXC in supermoto mode.
will always ride with full armour and kevlar helmet! gets to be a major PITI riding with full riding suits when it's a 100f + outside ..
it's not a matter if you will go down, but when. wearing a full armour suit with helmet could make the difference between getting up and walking away vs getting killed like HD riders with no gear on after a simple get off.

Agreed. I didn't have good gear before, and it's all gone now, but I intend to get helmet/jacket/gloves/boots before riding again, and as much protection in them as possible, without spending a fortune.
I totally agree. ATGATT.
Your pic didn't attach.
hmm? I can see it. Let me try again
