Every review of every blade I have read has said it is crippling?

I'd get the blade but I don't tour.

I was all for the VFR as I like the look but its only 6kg lighter than the bird and a has a LOT less power. If you don't do too much town work then it is ok? A bloke at work uses one every day for his commute and filters in and out of traffic on the dual carriageway when both lanes are stacked.

So either the bird is fine or I think you may find both too heavy after a 600 sports bike?
