Returning Rider: VFR 800 or 1200?

OP...have you considered the VFR1200X Crosstourer? Now available in the USA.

 

Less power than the 1200F, the same torque but peak torque available lower down the rev range. Luggage is voluminous compared to the 1200F and the seating position is excellent for both touring and scratching.

 

Only downsides I can see are the brakes and the suspension, but then the suspension on the 1200F needs some investment to make it more controllable when pushing it.

 

Just a thought.

Speaking of gear, how do you like the x14 on the 5th gen vfr?

I'm assuming the airflow isn't optimal as we sit more upright than for what the x14 was built for--full tuck.

 

What have you been using for gloves/jacket/pants/boots?

Bit of a gear geek that has watched too many revzilla videos.
