BDG, that is exactly the point! Expressed my sentiments very well.
I found the VFR uncomfortable after about 150 miles and pretty soul less. Sure it runs forever and does everything reasonbley well, but does it have the smile factor?
Got back on my ST4 last night after fighting traffic on a 250 Yamadog scooter and just smiled all the way home. I love innovation and admire the Japanese for the level they have helped bring motorcycling to, but the Italians have the ability to pour soul into their red (and other colored) machines.
