This sounds weird, but I sold my VFR800 (almost the same genre of bike as a Sprint RS) and bought a KTM 950 Adventure as a replacement. Best move I ever made.
The 950 doesn't look a like a sporty sport-tourer, but it sure does the job, maybe even better than my VFR. Handles amazing on the street, and doesn't get tied up in knots in the really tight stuff like a sportier bike would. More comfortable on the longer hauls than the VFR was. Fantastic suspension, great brakes, and it's got loads of character (you certainly don't see them on every corner!!).
Add in the fact that you can do some pretty decent off-road work with it, and you've got maybe the best all-around bike in the world. In my opinion, of course. Good luck!
