I agree Ricky, it's that ability to pull from 18 to 160mph that makes Fazer's so usable. I spend a lot of time lane splitting on motorways and it means I have the time to focus all my attention on the traffic, not the gearbox. The technical aspect of riding the machine gets out of way and you just ride. Want to go fast, get it past 7000rpm, want to potter through a town, just do it, want to over take in a 60 limit when you're tired, just open the throttle. It's simple and accessible.
The DCT VFR could have been like this but even with its auto mode, it just wasn't as controllable. It seemed to have it's own ideas of how it should be ridden. Fazer's don't. They do the rider's bidding.
