Its the "fun blasts" that matters if you are going for the Hyper.
I purchased mine and replaced a monster 620ie. The Hyper is so much easier to ride and gives you bags more confidence when ripping through the twisties which is where it holds its own against pretty much anything. If you are looking for something that will travel all day with ease and comfort then it's really not the bike for that but as you say you have the Fazer for that. That said people have toured around europe on them and having ridden out myself for day trips I find it much more cumfy than the little monnie was. Motorway blasts can be had and it will happily run into the 120's if you had a runway or private race track however the wind against you over 85 is tough to deal with. I'm short so it's not to bad for me to tuck in and there is always the HM windscreen add on which may help a bit.
But it's the fun side that the HM excels. It really can't be beat and everytime I take it out the grin is there. WARNING The naughty bike is a danger to your licence. You will want to pop wheelies which is does with ease. It never, ever allows you to go under 30 even when you think you are you look down and it's crept up. It will turn even the most saintly biker into a devil. Go on do it you know you want to.
