Quite a few years ago I rode a mates VFR800 but like you Ferret, I felt the riding position was just not 'right'. I ended up buying a VFR800X Crossrunner (don't know if they were called that in the states) and I have to say that is one bike I did regret selling - the most comfortable bike I think I've owned and did everything really well. I would compare it to the comfort of the CB1100 for sure but with a better seat haha. I had that for a about a year and then got tempted by the VFR1200, biggest mistake I have made! I just could not get comfortable on it and way too much pressure on the wrists. I tried all sorts of risers on it to get it where I could sit more upright but to no avail, I ended up selling it after about 6 months. Loved the motor in it but hated the ergonomics. Maybe I'm just a weird shape, my wife does call me TRex
