    So I went for the 1st real ride on the new VFR800 today. Covered 245 miles over three mountain passes and an excellent section of twisties on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain NP. Filled the tank in Kremmling on the way home with 180 miles on the trip clock. It took only 2.9 gallons, that’s over 60mpg at high altitude.

    I can’t be more pleased with this bike.

    Looks like you were havin' a good time. That new asphalt looked pretty smooth. Should move that camera mount to the front, the only time you can see down the road is on a left hander, unless you wanted us to watch you slide your butt across the seat.
