The VFR, typically of a V configuration has decent low rev torque, and goes well when the V-Tec cuts in at about 6500rpm. The performance of the Blade doesn't worry me, it's all in the wrist anyway. Just fancy something lighter and more chuckable.
And yes there's a few years under the belt - OMG, 34 years riding with the odd break. Maybe Hovis was right, it's a mobility scooter I should be looking at.
