Love those sport bikes, but cannot handle the ergos. At 69 I take quite a bit of ribbing about what I ride. (Twice, I have gotten the "Aren't you too old to be riding a sportbike?) I'm sure as hell not old enough to ride a Harley. I do wish that someone would make handlebar risers for some of these beautiful modern Cafe Racers along with corresponding windscreens. Kawasaki has done an exemplary job with its 250 and 500 Ninja since the late 80's. One of the guys in town just got a new black Ninja 500. That's a nice bike. If I decide to really get into touring, that 500 might be a bike to consider---although I would still love to have a GREEN 650 with a GREEN JAWA sidecar. That would be, in my view, the ultimate touring machine.
