Maybe that's what I like about it :shrug:

I also thought it was interesting that they integrated the front turn signals into the air intakes to keep the lines clean while putting the signals out to the sides.

sitting upright is much more comfortable that feet forward and arms outstreatched.

It's all about control.
You have the most with sport bikes feet tucked up, head forward to put you weight over the front wheel. Your body mass is compact and centralized so the least amount of movement yields the most response from the bike. They're made to turn quickly with high quality adjustable suspension components.
You get the least with cruisers. Feet forward, body slouched back riding position. Low end non-adjustable suspension and those big fat rear tires that resist any change in direction.
The B King, Versys and my V Strom are in between. My feet are directly under me, I slightly lean forward and my hands hit the bars a little above my waist.
Think of the Universal Japaneese Motorcycle of the 70'-80's. Very similar position. They called them that because if you wanted a sport bike, you swapped handlebars for clip-ons and changed to rear set pegs. Want a cruiser? High bars, extended forks, fordward controls, lose the front fender and add a tall skinny front wheel. Need a touring bike, just add a windshield or Vetter fairing and some saddle bage.

I should have bought the V Strom. Instead of prepaid service. It is a bettr bike for commutes, however not much cool factor. :duel:
