Officially not buying a new VFR12

Allthough I'm not a huge fan of the 7th gen, the 6th gen is no streamlined skinny girl. My girl is a bit of a cow, but I love her anyway, you just have to have bigger balls to push a heavy ass bike through turns and lean it over IMO.

 

A tourer, with a smaller gas tank and probably poorer fuel mileage? I think not!!

 

I saw the new VFR at the Motorcycle Show in DC earlier this year... I thought it was absolutely awful. What a far departure from what the VFR was, and what VFR riders want. I have a silver 2003 and I'm seriously considering picking up a leftover 2009. Dealers have dropped prices significantly. Who knows maybe I'll turn the 2003 into a track bike and keep the 2009 as a street bike... we'll see.

Honda has been missing the mark on it's bikes over the past couple of years... Honda is visibly absent from AMA racing, really disappointing from a company with such a successful history.
