Meanwhile, back on topic....
I'm one of them. I said to the Yamaha guys at the NEC show that it needs a bigger tank, because the one thing you can't change with any ease is the tank size.
It incenses me that you can buy any after market add-on from rear sets to screens, from radiator guards to full luggage, all of which are two seconds to fit, but no, the one thing that makes a colossal difference to some of us is tank range.
The VFR1200 hasn't sold anything like as much as Honda would like, and who would buy a sports tourer that can't manage 130 to a tank. It's idiotically short sighted and I will not be buying a bike I've been waiting years for if it can't manage even 100 miles.
Utterly senseless.

Maybe keeping hold of the gen 1 is a sensible option
