Yeah some out my budget. Considered sprint 1050.
Looking to spend £2000. Looking for sports tourer style. Maybe vfr800 but want more poke.120milea round trip motorway 3-4 times a week.

You'll be fine with that budget - recently got the predecessor of the 1050 for well under that and it makes me very cheerful on the motorway.

Looked this up yesterday
Stupidly clean and a well sorted set of wheels with much VTEC yo! I imagine it'll sit at a 100mph and doze off doing it.
If it wasn't so bulky, I'd have taken it right there and then, but 240kg wet put me off. Tiny buzz at around 4k, but all creamy after that. Hid it's mass well once moving, but you really felt it maneuvering it at stationary.Sprints are also disconcertingly cheap.

Depending on your tastes, how much punch you want - mpg, weather protection etc,etc.
For me, the list would include FJR's, 1050's, Bandit 12's some of the newer BMW's are quite funky ( F800 e.g ). There's lots out there - if you're doing lots of miles make sure it's comfortable (i.e clipons bad idea ).
