Wow, great response thank you for all the detail.
Although I really like my vfr and the full fairing look I'm getting tired of trying to keep it clean, lol. I've been considering a naked for my next bike and love the look (and that glorious exhaust) of the mt10.
Makes sense about too much power for the seating position, I don't intend on getting up to 250 on any bike on the road let alone a naked but I have heard its a handful to control.
Just made my short list shorter, thanks for the info
Edit sorry, responded to the wrong post, was meant for @Sebi
Nakeds are harder to keep clean imo.
I had a 2003 VFR like yours as well as a bunch of other fully faired bikes and they are easy to keep clean. Getting the dirt and grime out of all the nooks and crannies of an exposed motor etc. is a real pain.
I’m riding a Tracer GT now and can attest from experience.
YMMV.
