I've owned both and still have my VFR. The VFR is more comfy hands-down. Not just the riding position, but the suspension is much smoother as well. The VFR is the better corner-carver. The reach to the bars is much longer on the XX and the pegs are higher. The clip-ons are lower and narrower on the XX too. The XX has a longer wheelbase and the front-end feel is somewhat vague. The XX is a nice bike, but it is a high-speed bullet train. To me, it felt bored under 100. Would be great if not for those pesky speed limits. IMO, the VFR is by far the better real-world bike; better gas mileage, wind protection, etc. and to answer the question, better for 300 mile days- unless you live near the Autobahn!

If it was me I'd go with the XX, but then again I don't make my vehical purchases based on rational thought. I more for buying on emotion and then rationalizing away why I did it. The VFR is probably more practical, but I would always second guess not going with the XX just for the thrill factor.

I would always opt for more power, so I naturally would go with the XX! You can do a lot to ease ergos for little or no money at all, but to get more power you'll shell out big bucks for small gains...my 2 cents...
