I'd go for VFR800i non-V-tec, older model.
Or even older VFR750 rc36-2. Purely for handling, engine and incredible reliability.
I like new Sprint ST a lot, but perspective to have break down on Triumph anywhere in long journeys in Europe except UK scares me and handling of both VFR V-TEC and ST is a bit slow to my liking. IMHO VFR800i and specially RC36 quicker in twisties and just a comfortable as new models.
And obviously rc36-2 is bulletproof bike and can look very pretty with few accessoires and good paintjob.
But if ST would wear Honda badge, so that I will not worry about all these matters (especially breakdown/repair/spares/service) I'd go for ST.
