Re: [St] Behind the Curve? Another take

Ok, I'm ignorant.  What's the VFR????

Their Sport Tourer is the ST1300.  In the sport bike section there's the Intercepter.  I don't see any current models that are VFR.

But there are a couple of problems with that.
1. Honda is about to kill off the current generation VFR (that I have 
heard several insiders say was a Total Flop)and supposedly has no 
plans to replace it. The feel that the middleweight (750-900cc) 
SportTouring bike niche has dried up. I think part of that is that 
they did not spend the development dollars in the correct places on 
the Vtec edition VFR.
2. A lot of current middleweight sporttouring bike owners are not 
looking to by another middleweight bike, they are looking for that 
bigger bike. I know that I am, since going to up with luggage on my 
VFR is a strain and the bigger St bike would solve alot of the issue.
