2006 Sprint ST vs 2006 Honda VFR. Which One?

Definitey the Sprint. Both are very good Sport Touring bikes, but ever since Honda added variable valves to the VFR (in 2003?), the VFR has suffered from lots of criticism re: throttle response and lumpy power delivery. The Sprint, on the other hand, was significantly updated last year and given a bigger, smoother three cylinder. The only criticisms of the Sprint seem to be engine heat managment (cooks your legs in hot weather) and poor side luggage (something Triumph was going to fix this year - not sure if they did). Plus I think the Sprint is much nicer looking - IMHO.

They're both great

They both sound better than most other bikes (Tie), they're both quite comfortable (edge to the Sprint), they both handle well (edge to the VFR), but the Honda is probably more reliable now that it's had a few years of fixes and is the only one that uses the current MotoGP engine configuration (800 v-four)

Get the Honda... or the Triumph, wait, I'm confused.
