    [SomeQUOTE=dirkterrell;614694]Still waiting...

    But no logins since that post so I'm not holding my breath. It's looking more and more like my initial reaction of "bullshit" was right.[/QUOTE]


    Some people will tell a great story to sell a bike.
    Some people will belive a great story when buying a bike.
    Some same people will relive said story to whomever will listen.

    Yeah, I remember seeing that same text in a Craigslist ad a while back, laughed and moved on to the next ad. This is just the same recycled bullshit.

    If anyone on this board is ever looking at a VFR to buy, I'll be happy to look it over and help out in the decision making process. The VFR is an awesome machine but it is not (from 3rd generation, on) a race bike.

    Is that a problem?? That is my biggest issue with sportbikes is how they have evolved into racebikes with lights. Consider that maybe 10% of sportbikes are ever ridden at a race pace and maybe 1% are ridden exclusively at a race pace this marketing decision while it may sell some bikes it shuts out riders such as myself that dont do track days, ride a reasonable pace in the canyons, like to do 500+ mile days but dont want a full on ST like a Concours or VFR1200. That is where the VFR800 fit in perfectly and fortunately there is now the Ninja 1000

    Not for me, and a of other people too. I was just addressing the OP's claim that Honda had taken some VFRs and turned them into race bikes. The VFR is a great street bike. It can be a decent track day bike. But it is not a bike that anyone with a lick of sense would choose as a race bike.
