I'd love to have a light weight 650-800cc solo sport tourer with fairing/ bags and most importantly shaft drive... and I figure I have 1/2 dozen years or so for them to come out with it to benefit me. Something along the lines of an FJ09 with shaft drive...and good fueling.
If they don't, it will be a lowered SV 650 or a Versys 650 or ???? Still have places to ride to!

I had the same question, sat on a couple on Thursday. But, 700 is quite a drop from 1300, power wise.
