Is an FJR1300 too much bike for a long distance commuter?

I ride about 60 miles to work and my CBR600 is a little light during the spring and fall cross winds. I need something heavier and I am smitten with the FJR. I have had my current ride for a while and have not stayed up to date with all of the current offerings. I also like the look of the BMW R1150RT but wonder if the lower power would bore me since I am coming off of a sport bike. Is there something with decent wind protection that is comfortable enough to take the wife out of town every once in a while yet not as dificult to get your hands on as an FJR?

I live in central Texas and ride all year so I like the electric windshield due to the rapidly changing temperatures around here.

the FJR is a much better bike for your use
keep in mind, you will have to duck in gusty winds

Heck no! The FJR is a very comfortable bike for long distance rides. I know some people who have taken trips from here in Alabama all the way to California and said that they were comfortable, so for your purpose it should be ideal.
