I haven't ridden the new Sprint ST; however, I have sat on one. I own a FJR1300. I believe the other posts are right on track. The FJR's suspension is lacking which keeps it from being overly sporty. Yet, the FJR's shaft drive, bigger seat, etc. makes it more touring oriented. I would rank the Sprint ST more like a Honda interceptor.
If you plan to ride 500mi a day, do some camping, hit some twisties, and want to take the wife along, I'd go FJR. If you are single, don't need to carry quite as much stuff, and want more peformance, go Sprint ST.
