I tested the CBR 1000, Blackbird and the VFR before I choose the VFR.
1. CBR 1000 Great bike for Power & Cornering but my body would wear out quickly on that bike.
2. Blackbird was a awesome bike, when you hit that throttle it was like you went to warp speed in 4 seconds, handling was O.K. for such a big long bike and the riding position was adequate. It was my #2 choice by a C hair.
3. VFR had it all for me, great riding position, very flickable in the corners, O.K. power, and that great V-4 sound.
The Blackbird is a excellent choice, the reason I choose the VFR over the blackbird was because of the flickability in the corners advantage over the Bird. But a lot can be said over that smooth Bird engine. But maybe one day Honda will wake up and get creative again. But just where you know, my dream bike is a VFR 1000.
