a 2000 vfr isn't going to be much of a step from the FZ you currently ride.. and its a 10 year old bike now. The service costs on the VFR will also be steeper than the FZ. The VFR might be a small step towards a better touring bike if it comes with all the touring goodies such as luggage etc, otherwise you can get all the luggage you need for the FZR and it will make just as good a touring machine.
I recently rode a friends 2001 VFR and it was very nice, though a lot stiffer than my current ride, and more weight on the wrists. I think most vfr owners who use them for touring end up sinking a few $$ into tweaking the comfort.
