I've always liked them and might end up with one at some point, and I've seen them priced really well.

Looks sweet with one exception.. that hideous pipe. It is HUGE and looks totally out of place on that bike.

Saw one recently all decked out for touring, looked decent.

Could one of those be decked out for semi ADV riding?

The pipe would be the first thing to go...

I agree. I would FIND the money for a new one for this bike. Just seems totally out of place. I don't get it.

That's sexxay. Rear seat doesn't look much better than a regular sportbike though.

Rear seat doesn't look bad. From the one picture it looks like there is some contour to it so your butt would fit into it nicely. It also doesn't look like it slants as much as some of the sport bikes also making a decent ride.

I was torn between the FZ1 and R1 and ended up on a CBR

Another nice thing about the back seat is the oh shit bars for bracing yourself during a stop or take off so you aren't slamming into the one driving. A lot of people make fun, but they are nice for that and for moving the bike around.
