There's only been two - the original VFR750 (the K model to be specific, the later bikes are water buffalos) and the Gen 1. I think the reason the VFR-FK was such a good sports tourer is that it was a cutting edge sports bike that just so happened to be comfortable, had a big tank and was exceptionally well made.There was a third, truely great sports tourer, better even then the VFR or the gen1.
….
Stuning engine straight out of a top sports bike.
Most comfortable saddle ever put on a bike.
Great protection wind without being a land yacht.
Great looks.
Handling to keep up with top sports bikes.
Good range with 200miles between fills.
Integrated luggage.
It was a bike you could ride for 300 miles, dump the luggage and scrap knee sliders on alpine passes. And do it all again tomorrow.
The Aprilia Futura.
Nobody bought it.
