My 04 VFR (42k) came with a power commander PC3USB and a generic map. Loaded the cozy map and it made a huge difference. Very smooth over the entire rpm range, with only a slight VTEC kick around 6800 rpms.
Clutch is almost silent when pulled in. Had a problem where occasionally, when taking off in first gear, the bike would buck like a wild horse. Had to flush and bleed the fluid, and it is fixed now.
Here on the forum I read a lot about the electrical problems. Haven't experienced any problems yet, but I did take off the fairings, inspected all the connectors, incl. the ones next to the battery, and cleaned them.
Suspension could be better, but will do for my mostly highway commute.
