Does not mean I would not have other bikes to do specific jobs though.
Quite. I have a VFR750F which does my everyday. Worse handling[1] to keep me slow and cheap running costs (apart from fuel[2]) but a superb engine and nothing better for all round use.

[1] Although newer VFR's are probably better.
[2] <30mpg avg on a fun day.
