No, no, I have no plans of ditching my beloved CB, but there's not much in the way of picking up a second motorcycle, if I really wanted to...
Well, my casual browsing came to an abrupt end when I got a few insurance quotes. I pay about $300 a year for the CB, but the VFR would cost me almost 4 times that! What the heck is going on in the world that would justify that rate for a "sport tourer"?
So, that's just one more to the many reasons that I truly enjoy owning a CB1100.
If Honda decides to bring the VFR800X stateside, I'm really hoping it's a more affordable bike. That's just ridiculous!
Low insurance is absolutely a plus. Just renewed with Progressive yesterday for $241 bucks for the year.

For my CB in British Columbia, insurance is $1050 for third party (including 47% safe driving discount) + $560 for coll/comp from a third party. Stupid socialized insurance.
