VFR,s are great bikes, they do the commuting & are also quite nippy in sport mode
knee down style, they can show up a few of the superbikes if ridden hard, makes me smile when a blade/r1 rider has the look of surprise when they realise i,m still with em,
only real problem with them is the rectifier, gets too hot but there is a mod you can do to solve it.
riding all year round makes you a better rider in my opinion, judge road surfaces better etc etc.
tho i admit i,m a track addict, racing is such fun, falling off doesn,t hurt, stopping hurts.
my claim to fame is i beat James Whitham & got a push start off Carl Fogarty.
