From: Fraser Johnston on 29 Jul 2010 23:24 In the grey colour it looked f*cking lovely. Nice factory panniers on it. Be the perfect bike if it wasn't so f*cking expensive. -- Fraser

I thought it was a beemer from the back. Wonder how porky it is to ride? Fraser

I saw one a couple of months ago. In the flesh I thought not as ugly as it looked in pictures, but still pretty ugly IMHO, particularly around the headlight/nose section. Yet to see one on the road. Either it's not a big seller or I don't get out as much as I used to. I read one forum which has a lot of members who are the types of riders who would buy that sort of bike. Between them they own more 1400GTRs than you could poke a stick at but not a breath about the VFR (and no, it's not a GTR forum). Nev..

Yeah, I have yet to see one in the flesh but have yet to see a photo that makes i look good. And I am a former Hayabusa and Blackbird owner. But having owned 4 Honda V engined bikes I am intrigued. -- Kev |
