This. Its a bit of vanity. But only you will have to be happy with your decision. So have fun with whatever you choose.

This. I love the guages on my 500. They are one of the coolest features on the bike!

A month on a yzf and already looking for something new? Ive owned mine for over 3 years and I'm just now starting to plan for my next bike.

Until I got a dual sport, I had no idea how miserable I was on a sportbike.

You should try a real touring bike, dual sports aren't "comfortable" either.

I can say my current touring bike is the first bike I have ever had that I simple don't want to get rid of.

It's amazing to own bikes where you can ride 20 hours+ in one day or 10-14 hours a day for two and a half weeks straight and not even be sore from riding.

Yeah right... my bike just does everything I want it to do.

I put a nice seat on my Husky. Aside from the wind blast on the highway, it's not all that bad.

A DS just doesn't compare to a bike that is setup for doing that type of riding. Going from my DRZ to my GS was a night and day difference.

No doubt. But my DS is a hell of a lot more comfortable on road trips than a sportbike.
