Yeah, I guess I could see your point. A lot of people say that a sportbike isn't comfy on long trips. Not to mention it wasn't made for them. But I am a girl, only 5'2", So my long trips were comfy for me. I would just lay down on the gas tank, prop my head on the back of my wrist and I could go forever.
I had to trade in my bike for a stinkin' minivan when I had my my second kid, so I guess I kill for any bike right now.
