I've got an ST3 and ST2, both very competent touring bikes and both been on lengthy European trips, tried an ST4s which was very quick ! Never tried the VFR, have to say, I did try to sort a test ride but found the H*nda people not very good to deal with when trying to organise it.

The ST3 is really great and reviews very favourably against the VFR in the mags, it does all that we want, long haul 2 up trips with luggage (top box, panniers and tank bag) are great fun. Comfort with the new style seats and fairings is better than the ST2/4 and you have the character of an "L" twin. Guess the running costs may be a bit higher but it's a price you pay for a bike with a bit of character.

Well worth trying one, seem to be some great deals out there on new ones at the moment.
