As much as it pains me to consider changing from my trusty Davina (Triumph Daytona 955i), I am thinking about upgrading my bike. I am thinking of getting something in the sports tourer class and want something comfortable and reliable but still fun, as the bones are starting to age. At the moment the Triumph Sprint ST is floating my boat, but the VFR800 vtec has also caught my eye although the reviews I have read are not brill. Any feedback on these bikes, or suggestions as to what bikes to consider gratefully received. I have a budget of about 6000 quid, so anything recently released is not really an option although I would consider finance if I could find a good deal, i.e. 0 per cent.

Thanks
