Welcome! Better all rounder - take your pick: Blackbird, non-VTech VFR800, FZ1000, Triumph Sprint. All of them virtually bulletproof and it's down to which one does it at an emotional level for you and how much you want to pay!

Welcome to KiwiBiker! :spudwave:
The VFR750's a good all-rounder alright, but having owned one, and now a VFR800, I reckon the RC46 is better'n the RC36: it's lighter, more powerful, handles better, and is less hassle to maintain courtesy of the EFI. Plus parts are still easy to get hold of.
Other all-rounders? VTR1000 and SV1000 are good, although not the same quality as the VFR.

Hey big thanks to all for the advice. Hoping to visit Ch Ch in the next cpl. of weeks so a lot of test rides would be a good idea. See if I can find a pillion seat worthy of the privalige to haul the wifes butt.
Will post progress.
