Since when was a Fireblade ever comfortable? It's not designed for all day blasts or long distance touring. The Blade was always a go out for a quick ride type of machine and this new version looks good, bit yammy though in the tank dept.
basically the same thing I said to the local dealer who proceeded to tell me about some guy touring all over on a CBR 1k and racking up tons of miles. He kept asking me if I wanted a call when the new one comes in. I think I'm gonna stick with the VFr, though... My wife and I discussed it, and I decided that I'd rather sink money into my paid off bike to make it just how I want than to buy a new bike at least at this point...
