[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2694626, member: 750"] I've had a few over the years. My last was a CBR1000RR. Like others have mentioned, they take a little getting used to but once you get the iron but worked out, they are plenty comfortable. More comfortable than any cruiser type I've ever riden at distance mostly because I like to tuck in out of the wind rather than feeling like a parachute. That said, they do put pressure on your wrists unlike a cruiser but again, conditioning is everything. Been on many multiday multi-500mile/day rides and loved it. If you want to split the difference, there are plenty of very quick sport touring bikes and they are generally a dime a dozen compared to sport bikes. Just to ask, you've got your M endorsement and judging by your username, you know how quickly a sport bike, especially a liter+ bike can turn the unintiated into a red spot on the road right? I've riden some of the best tracks in Europe on an FZR1k back in the day and I still made a point to take MSF courses and choose riding buddies carefully. [/QUOTE]
