    If its got RR in the name, its not the most comfortable bike in the world..the performance is second to none, but they arent built w/ comfort as a top priority.

    All the bikes Steve mentioned would be excellent choices indeed.

      Unless you are going to be railing the twisties and rarely riding the highways, why would you want a supersport? The R1s are uncomfortable. The Gixxers are uncomfortable. The RRs are uncomfortable. ANY bike with low clip-ons and aggressive ergos will be uncomfortable...

      If you slab it most of the time, I don't know why you'd even consider them...

      Look at sport tourers... They are still PLENTY capable in the twisties (hense why they're SPORT tourers) and have oomph. Some (most) even have hard bag options so you can lug a lot of stuff around with you...

        In the perfect world you would have to have atleast 3 bikes for different types of riding. Or 365 different bikes for a year LOL
