New Bike

Rode the VT750 out to Peoria today.

No windshield + V-twin vibration + 95º = sore and tired.

I tried riding my friend's ST1100 while we were out. I don't like the position of the pedals or the narrow handlebars, but I do like the smooth 4 cylinder, the built-in windshield, and the built-in storage.

So, is there a such thing as a Cruiser Tourer? Or a small tourer?

I'd like a bike with the pedal position and handlebars of my Shadow, and the engine, windshield, and storage of the ST1100.

Does such a beast exist?

Yes, I know there is a four-cylinder Gold Wing, but that's bigger than I'm looking.
