See, I'm not being sarcastic, but it's for that reason that I'm glad BMW is bringing the F800ST to the U.S.....not too big, not too powerful, just right....Although I finally sat on a VFR last week, the local BMW dealer had a used one for 5200...pretty good price for such a capable bike, felt pretty comfy too....and I do have a weak spot in my heart for red bikes.....oh, I'm rambling, more coffee please
