I'll wait and see how the two bikes work out. I'll may be stepping down from the VFR in a year or two. It's a ton of fun but I'm coming up on 50 and leaning over that far for hours at a time is punishing. Plus it's a much better bike than I am a rider. The NC7 just looks like my speed now. Lower revs, good torque, upright position, a bit lighter. The weestrom has the same advantages except it revs higher (more power but also sucks a bit more gas.)
