Are you kidding? I mentioned that the VFR is THE bike for serious sport touring in your original "what motorcycle should I get" post. I have owned two (presently have a 2001 VFR 800i). The only real problem the VFR had in its present form is the early 1998-1999 a few bikes had a faulty voltage regulator/rectifier. Easy fix and the post 1999 bikes don't have this problem. Valve adjust every 16k miles and other than chains and tires they are pretty much maintenance free.
Oh and did I mention that there is a VFR forum that has the same flavor as the Pelican board? A bunch of do it yourself guys that love to ride. Even have meet ups just like on Pelican. You will find me over there under the same screen name. Check it out:

This board is a very active board. Here are the posts from the last hour or so:
