[QUOTE="rwortman, post: 1263803, member: 87350"] Just passed the first year with my brand new -12. A bit over 9K miles. The VFR I had before this was the best bike I had ever owned. Not any more. Once I got used to the weight and changed the tires, this bike handles almost as well and is way more comfortable and faster too. The only little thing left that bugged me was the sticky clutch and last oil change I fixed that. I read the reviews and wonder how spoiled you must be to find anything to complain about. I sat on one of the big touring oriented ADV bikes before I bought this. No way. Those guys at Cycle World that thought a Ducati Multistrada was the best touring bike of the year probably never rode one day after day in all kinds of weather. Those things are too tall for their real mission and have seriously skimpy wind protection. My touring buddy rides a Triumph Tiger 1050 and it is fun to ride but on a cold and/or rainy day, no way I would swap bikes with him. [/QUOTE]
