Really want to get my hands on a new vfr

[sapaul]

Mate of mine rang me and told me that he got the chance to ride the new viffer 1200, raved like crazy and could not believe a shaftie could move so well.

AAARRRGGGHHHH gonna have to put some effort into getting a ride on this bike.

Ditto.

Motorcycle Consumer News magazine did a pretty positive write-up in their April issue. About their only negative was the price, and lack of extras (luggage, etc.) for that price. I don't have the mag here at work, but remember it tested 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.

Still think it's mfugly, although supposed to be a helluva bike.

The incarnation that ended in '97 was the best looking VFR(one of the most gorgeous bikes of alltime) ever. Each succeeding VFR got uglier and uglier IMO. I had a hard time deciding between getting the stunning looking red '97 or waiting for the much less pretty(but better bike) '98. I ended up getting the first '98 my dealer got.

If anyone has ridden this bike, have you tried the auto-electronic shifting manual ?? What's it like? I'm sure it can shift better than me but I like the primitive feel of clutching... Was it weird or do you adapt to it quickly?

Agreed but I am partial to the silver:

And now you can pick them up for next to a song....

hmmm, could I pick one up for a swap with my b-king, is the question - with ABS...

I want to look at one but they appear horrible compared with previous models. What's up with the 4.9 gal tank? This could have been better...

[jmillheiser]

4.9 gallon tank? didn't the preceding model have a 7 gallon tank?

On the bright side it should drop the price on used interceptors by a lot.
