think goldwing lol but i like my 900rr good for about a hour or so until you get accustomed to it
and yes it is stiff thats what makes it ride so good in the twistys in my opinion
a vfr is a really good sport/cruiser voted best bike for years by alot of motorcycling mags for
a good reason but they are a little expensive especially for the abs model

Well, I do have a Goldwing, but like a said earlier I loved my F4's motor, loved it's looks, but I was just cramped up riding it. By the way I love your yellow 900. If it would be more comfortable then the F4, I would love it!

I realize that I am a little late to the party, but perhaps you should give a 599 or 919 a shot. I have the 599 and the way I see it, if you are to have one bike, that's the one to have. CBR power, comfortable and upright, and bulletproof.

Kaw has the Ninja 650R-it's more of an up right bike, but still looks cool. The bar on the 650R look almost like dirt bike bars. I'm not sure how they run, but they do look cool IMO.

I used to have the wrist pain/ neck pain thing you described on my F4i. Then I loosed up a bit.
