I don't think you'll be dissapointed. IMO, the suspension design on the FSR is the best available. The 4-bar Horst link (that's what it's called BTW), is incredible. So many other companies have liscensed the design to use on their own bikes.
I had a '98 FSR, that was one of my favorite all time bikes. I just recently (Nov I think) bought an Intense Uzzi-SL that uses the Horst link! I've never had a better bike!
Go get that FSR, you won't regret it!
