Yay - new VFR.

There are spy photos out there. It looks like a cool bike, but I'm surprised at the single piece seat. I've been liking the two-piece seats on sport bikes.

It's cool that they're launching a 1200cc VFR, but I wish they still kept an 800cc(ish) variant. So does that leave BMW's F800ST as the only smallish official sport tourer?

I don't know about that - but I will say that if the new VFR is as heavy as my B-King - there will be few sport tourers that are light on the feet.

Might as well get a Gold Wing? I am getting older.

And a couple motorcycle generations ago the Gold Wings were 1500s and then smaller than that.
