Another second for the VFR. I had one for a while. Truly missed it when it moved on. It had a aftermarket pipe that was a guaranteed woody, and I am not a noise guy. The power curve was seamless all the way to the 10.5 redline, and would get you automatically to jail in Kahliforneeeia on the 2 -> 3 shift. Unlike the Hurricane, the front end was heavy enough to not get in the air accidentally, and the Dunlop radials were sticky enough to warrant replacing twice a year. No sissy stripes on them when they came off, it was a bike that would drag elbows before pegs.

If $$$$ is an object (I know, I know), you might also look into a well-kept flying brick. Good ones are in the $3k range, decent ones are in the $2k range, and fairing and stance are perfect for SoCal freeways. The Autobahn police still use them for a reason. I think I was on one behind you that day when you got the flat tire.
