I don't think any of these bikes are really in the same sector. The VFR seems more of a sports-tourer, with the emphasis on sports. But yes, OK, these are pricey bikes too and none of them sells too well, with the exception of the Blade. Which, I note, is also the cheapest. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
