    Goddammit... that is the XX I want. Fucking love that color on that bike. Trying to convince my buddy who is fairly tall and big he needs one in his life. Think it would be a great Sport / (occasional) Tour for him. He also has an ST1100.

    I know, I've ridden a few. I thought they felt like a large 1998 VFR as far as ergos and handling. A little more deliberate in handling of course, but man I loved it. Warp Speed 11 is nice too.

    I installed some risers and lowered the pegs ,,,, perfect fit after that. And yes… feels like a large VFR.

    There was a very nice red one for sale around here last year. Price wasn't stupid, but it was all the dough. Shoulda just bought it, but I really didn't need it. It's def easier to tell the wife about another VFR than a completely different, big red missile.

    She just shakes her head... "My god dude. You got a problem."

    The other night we were riding to dinner and she asked which bike are we taking.

    "Ummmm... the ST?"

    "Oh I thought we might take the VF1000R"

    "The last time we rode the 1000R 2-up, I don't remember it being that enjoyable for either of us"

    Now.... 20+ years ago on a sweet mountain road... it was very enjoyable.
