This is how I felt until I got the VFR. I just hated the look of the uni-seat but with the VFR having the solo cowl that comes on and off easily, you could barely tell. In my opinion, I also think they make for a comfier ride from a stock vs stock standpoint you're more than welcome to drop on by anytime and check mine out if you want a baseline of "sport tourer" to see what you may like and not like
