I already have a V-Strom. It's not particularly sporty. :rofl
I beg your pardon? :nchantr

I'm seeing a lot of reviews about numb hands and feet from vibration. Also, the high cost of BMW maintenance has me a bit aversive.
So basically the question is "What's the best V-strom I can buy?"

It'll still keep a quick pace in the canyons, but it's really a flying couch and ADV bike as opposed to a sport-tourer.
I'm hard-pressed to believe that anything with an upright seating position, high ground clearance, and 19" front can be considered especially sporty.
I rented an R1200RS for a weekend. It was a nice bike for racking up miles.

I’ll throw my hat in for the Busa. I think with risers it’s as comfy as a VFR. It’s actually a very good sport tourer.
Just a thought.....
"Sporty" is mostly determined by the thing on the seat, not what's under it.

And yes if you are going on a longer trip a shaft drive is the way to go.
