I test rode a VFR1200DCT in 2014, it was glorious. Even the DCT. I didn't think I would use it, but it was so intuitive and easy to use I found myself clicking out of "drive" and using the finger controls almost immediately. Anyway, I tried to buy it (at $6k with 4,000 miles?!?), but I got beat to the punch by the guy in front of me. Anyway to make a long story short, while I love sport(ish) bikes, I don't love the position anymore. Too many stupid things in my youth I suppose. Anyway, I would totally buy the Crosstourer if there were used (and cheap) ones on the market. What's not to like? All the big power, technology, and performance from the VFR1200 with a upright position, some suspension travel, and a stout subframe ready to hold my gear? Heck yeah!
