How come nobody has mentioned the "Cat"? The best two things I have read up to this point was the mention of unsprung weight and the Honda Civic lug nuts, brilliant! I am keeping in mind that the project goal is a "sportier" Sport TOURING. I liked the "anorexia" line too. The Viffer has a sloppy front end for my taste. Straight line acceleration is not as important as confidence inspiring handling with a "big" bike that can be achieved with the spring kits available and the compression/dampening adjustability with the fork upgrade. I will not defend this position as it is only my humbly stated preference. I love the grunt of my 2001 VFR800. Every time I crack the throttle I fall in love over and over again.
