I rode my son's bike with a quick shifter and I didn't shift any faster at all .... false advertising if you ask me

Wondrr why they went with a chain. Were belts a problem on earlier models?

Does it raise a tickle? Big Grin

Hmm, this look seems popular in the industry over the last few years.

Have you looked at the 2019 Honda CB650R (naked) and CBR650R (ergo friendly sport)?

No cruise control but I believe they meet most of the other requirements.

The BMW R1200R would be a 2 cyl that would get you almost there. Shaft drive and cruise, riding modes are customizable so you could essentially make it any horsepower you wanted between 123 and the minimum setting. 17" wheels, naked sport/tourer with all the toys you could want.

Not really, this would be more enticing:

The 270-degree crank of the 850 would solve the problem of lack of character in the 180-degree crank F800GT.

Ah, yes. I do understand.

270 degree twin configurations seem to be popular, if not maybe standard now.
