I've been kicking around the idea of a smaller, lighter bike than my 1300 - horsing it around my garage or worse, trying to U turn on a narrow gravel road (with camber) is a stretch. Otherwise I love the bike.
The guys I ride with have told me any other bike is going to be a step backward (in smoothness, power, comfort, etc.), yet one of them said Honda's VFR 750 had a lovely engine and was essentially a smaller ST. (He also said his VFR 800 was buzzy under the seat from the muffler). From the research I've done, the VFR 750's seem to be around 20+ years old,are bulit as well as the ST and they can easily go 200k miles, are relatively inexpensive but seem to emphasize the sport over sport touring.
Any input from guys who know something about this bike? Are aftermarket wndshields available to provide a bit more protection?
