This makes perfect sense.
I only ride to go fast in the twisties, usually gone all day and put 400 miles of aggressive riding in at a time. I like anything which may help.
Plus, the bikes are narrow enough sliders do not get in the way. I forget they are there. It had not occurred to me they could otherwise be a bother.
The F bikes make perfect sense for all around use, good choice.
Thanks. I went from a thumper F650CS to an F800GT for a better seat and a sixth gear. Although I still miss that thumper. Always will.
I started late, in my 40s, so I went modest. I like the smallness of the bike. And I have short legs for my height so the F-series was more or less made for me.
I very nearly got a Honda CB919, but my safety class instructor was very earnest in suggesting it was too much bike for me to start with. I did ride one once after I’d been riding for a year. He was almost certainly correct. But I still see that fireblade as “the one that got away” as the guy selling the one I rode was basically giving it away. (didn’t want two bikes in storage right before deployment so I passed. “Here honey, you can move TWO bikes around the garage while I’m in Kabul!” Sigh.)
Anyhow. Back on topic. I want my T-shirt!!
Almost bought an F 800 ST (pre GT) for my first bike.
I guess most younger folks will confuse this with condom marketing…
Ha, you underestimate the lack of fashion sense us Boulder folk have! Tie dye socks with sandals for example is widely accepted and commonplace here.

Remind me when I visit Boulder to come in my time machine, set to about 1973.
Can’t think of anything hifi loaded with sexual innuendo.
Not in the same league as the AE109 UK print ad with a completely naked woman.
Copy the logo. Take it to any t-shirt shop. Have them make anything you want with the logo on a t-shirt, hat, or your underwear, for that mattter.
mmmm ps audio underpants
Sure. I can go down and make up a silkscreen in an afternoon and be printing shirts by the same night. I can go to a shop too and probably pick it up the next day. Hell, if I have a cricut machine, I’ll have an iron on in under an hour. And I can always just put one of my stickers on a shirt in seconds.
But there’s something to be said for “putting my money where my mouth is” and giving the company I love some extra dough to get their swag. When a company sells a t-shirt for $25, it doesn’t go at cost, and while that money is at the margins, it makes me feel like I’m supporting them without having to buy a four-figure box of electronics.
If the company doesn’t want to sell swag because it’s just another thing to keep track of? More power to them. And then I make my own like I did my Bill the Cat t-shirts I screened for me and my friends in high school. But it doesn’t hurt to ask.
If they don’t want to do it, maybe I’ll make up a screen and sell y’all some shirts. At cost, of course since I shouldn’t be making money on their identity. 
Your mileage may vary.
I don’t think I even still have the screens to that anymore. That was a 5-color print (I only do spot colors) so it was fairly labor intense. When I finished our run I think I pulled the screen off the frame and tossed it because it was so much work and such a PITA to get just right.
One color screens are trivial for a punter like me. But multi-colors are almost like work. Lol.
OOP! ACK! Love BTC.
I’m an audiophile I just use cash instead of toilet paper.
