    I like the look of that GS650F.I also agree with DMNTD the ER650 is cool,have ridden with a few,thlook comfy,very styley(my opinion),and certainly punch above thier weight
    If a man answers a question in the forest.....But there is no woman to hear him.....Is he still wrong?

    Uh, I find cruiser a lot easier as you are just sitting on it like a chair, rather then being hunched over.

    There is a few bikes that are sort of half and half, one in my opinion is the Yamaha Vmax. But limiting yourself to 700cc the Vmax probably has to much power.

    Sports I've tried crushed my family jewels and sore back in minutes.

    Have you sat on a cruiser? Rather nice :P

    Harder to ride... no, easier to ride... no. Different yes. But all bikes are different, two VTR's can be different, depending on how the are set up or even if the are set the same, how many km's it has done...

    I took a VTR for a test ride the other day it had only done 2500km hardly even run in, was very different compared to mine thats just clocked 38000

    But like any new bike, no matter how experienced you are you take the time to learn it, learn its style with your style of riding, what it can and can't do, the sespenion, tyres, acceleration and de-acceleration(engine braking), brakes, full on cornering, whats it like with a bit of a load with all the above heck how good is the headlight both during the day and at night. How well do cages see your indicators basically learning the bike...
