iamzombie Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well, after riding a 2007 R1 for 4 years (my first bike, lol) I've decided I'm too told to continue riding a supersport full-time, and decided a VFR might be the perfect mix of sportiness and comfort... (TBH, so far I'm not 100% on that, but that's only after 200km in the saddle late at night) ~1,364km on the clock when I picked it up. Came with OEM paniers, and heated grips, hell the guy even threw in a Sena SMH5-FM bluetooth communicator, lol. My Initial impressions of the bike (I posted this all on the "other" VFR forum as well, so don't blast me for being a post whore ;)Pros: Nice instrumentation, decent seat (odd cushioning though, almost feels like theres a gel pancake in the middle), OEM headlight is awesome, brakes are simply staggeringCons: Buzzy bars, "empty" engine note, just doesn't thrill like my R1 :Pmeh's: Powerband will take some getting used to (after coming from an R1, in particular), fuel range isn't great (~220km on indicated 3/4 of a tank) Pics:Bit of a tight squeeze getting my toys all inside my tiny garage at once: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
