VFR with Honda panniers (like me and Quiff had on our bikes) is ideal as a tourer, because it will carry all your gear in comfort, munches the miles but it's still lively enough to have fun when you arrive and have unloaded. I think the GMIII demonstrated that admirably. It's also a great pillion bike.
