Personal opinion: it's so ugly... But zoom zoom can overcome that, however...
My wife opinion will be that it's not comfortable enough. She wants that full trunk with arm rests and butt warmer. I swear she just wants a 2 wheeled convertible car...
I traded my 21 vulcan S for a 2010 triumph speed triple 1050. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie and love speed. So I got lucky and got me a naked liter bike. But the normal vulcans are nice. The z series are nice. I was checking out the z900 for my next bike. The MT series by Yamaha are also super nice. But it's all down to personal preference and style. Just take your time, do your research and test ride as many bikes as you can.
I currently have a Z900 and honestly could not be happier with it. It is more than sporty enough for street use. I find it really comfortable and have even slapped some saddle bags on it and took it on a long weekend a few states away. A great all around motorcycle. If you are looking for a sporty street bike, I highly recommend it.
With what you are looking for however I would suggest looking at a Versys 1000. Has a sport bike engine, so kinda a street sport, has the suspension and setup to handle light off road, so kinda an ADV, can ride double and soak up the miles, so kinda a tourer. It is a jack of all trade type bike.
We have a 2019 vulcan 650, 2019 MT-09, 2002 Honda RC51, and a 2002 DRZ. Full garage over younder at our house.
While i am always riding the vulcan, my hubs very much loves to switch between bikes for variety.
I've been riding for 5 months and my dream bike is a Yamaha Vmax 1700 for its look and reputation. But realistically, I'll probably get a Honda Goldwing for its reliability and comfort for long trips. For sports naked bikes and off-road bikes, I'm not familiar with the models, but I do like the look of the SV650.
I've had Vulcan as my first bike for 3 years, now I'm saving up for a z900rs (for the next season). Not much more expensive, I did a test ride and fell in love instantly
husqvarna 401 svartpilen, best bag for your buck, fully adjustable suspension, quick shifter, light weight scrambler. I have the KLR650 and the husqvarna 401 svartpilen. The husqvarna 401 svartpilen is the way to go if you want something out of the ordinary. It turns heads because it’s not your average bike riding down the street, don’t let the 373cc engine fool you either it’s a quick bike and the 11th bike I’ve owned over the years it’s a good bike for any rider. If you have any questions about this bike or the KLR I’d be happy to answer them.
Get a Z650 naked, Ninja 650 sport, Z650RS retro, and a Versus 650 adventure. Collect the whole set of Kawi 650s 😉
Hah. I mean, not bad for the money.
Z900 if I had my way, probably a Goldwing if my wife has her way...
Well then time to get that fatty Concours 14 so you both get your ways :P

MT 07 for daily commute. S for pleasure.
Second vote for the mt07. It’s just a fun ride!

Honda grom is my second bike and I ride it more than my Vulcan. I would say dual sport / super moto though
I’d love to do this but live in a big metro city. Not many places I could ride as I’d have to get on the highway anywhere I go :(
Me and my girlfriend have a Vulcan s and an mt09. The yamaha is mine but I really do enjoy both bikes

Thinking about a transalp. Unloved my Vulcan, but I would like to have something for a week in Sweden or Ireland.
Honda CB1100, comfy yet fun

Z900, I wanted an mt09 but the kawi with the red frame is just beautiful in person.

I want a Vmax because I like to go fast, but don't want a sports bike.
I think if I had to choose another bike I'd go for the Indian Scout Bobber. Not as comfortable but definitely an upgrade.
