Just curiosu what you guys think, I want something lighter and sportier as either a second bike or possible replacement. I miss being able to lean into a turn and flick the bike around. I need something "comfortable" for commuting and day trips, I dont need a long distance tourer really. I want sportbike style and fun without the ergo`s of a true sportbike, something a bit cushier and more upright. Any suggestions?

JDookie, I would go for the VRSCD Night Rod personally. Ive never ridden one, but the VRSCAW has a bit of a wierd seating postion that I think was changed a bit on the Night Rods? There`s no way I could afford 2 Harleys though.
Black240SX, Ill have to check it out and see what they are like.
Deenice21, who makes the 650R?
I used to ride a Ninja ZX6 back in the day and I really liked it, it wasnt overly aggressive but I was younger then too. :) I might have to look at the Ducattis (they are expensive though?) and does Honda still make the Interceptor?
All day comfort with sportbike-ish handling and looks?
I loved my V-strom 650... shown here with lower fairing kit.

It is only offered in Silver for 08...

Oooh I like the Interceptor! I might have to go to a dealer and check one out. I like the ABS model but at $12k its only about $5500 less then my softail was before fee,s taxes, etc. I think I might also want to check out the Kawasaki ZZR600 and 650R, they seem much less aggressive then a pure sport bike and are cheap.
