Welcome octopi, sounds like we have some of the same bike experience and age I am 47. I also had a fjr and was one of the bikes I really miss. I am 6'1" and the enduro height is no problem (I wear boots) except if you get off kilter going up a hill, or off balance and then the tall bike just exacerbates the problem and usually tip over :). Just got my 690 around a month ago and love hitting the dirt again. Had not ridden in the dirt since I was a kid. If you want to do short commutes and dirt ride this is a great bike, although it can be done I think the fjr would be 100 times better for any distance travel.
My Bikes Yamaha Stratoliner S, ktm 690 Enduro
