Searched for a late 90's vfr but couldn't find the right deal and got a 01 FZ1 instead.

No need for a single bike. I've practically got unlimited places to put vehicles. Longest ride I've done on the F4i was about 6 hours, and it's not too bad if my body has been conditioned by enough saddle time. I hadn't really considered just riding the F4i since it doesn't have panniers, but it shouldn't be too difficult to mount some. The other thing is the gearing is way too short for comfortable highway cruising.
If I got a dedicated touring bike, I'd want all the bells and whistles. Fuel injection is a must on all bikes for me. I'd like cruise, ABS, and traction control if I buy something newer.
My friend has a 2002 VFR800. Haven't ridden it yet, but I'm sure I will soon.
