How are you finding the VFR?
I test rode one and I think it must have been a lemon because I *hated* the
handling.
It just did not give the confidence in the corners that the GSX-R did - and
it slid twice and I'm not exactly an aggressive rider.
Must be the way you ride, then. I can get my knee down on mine easy LOL
I was pressing a bloke on an R1 out near the Hadhams. Overtook him on the
outside at 120.
Could just be that all R1 riders are poofs though. LOL

I just don't see why it's a problem. I mean, once you know what it'll
do the novelty wears off. Well, it does for me.
I'll probably keep the VFR for at least another month and then see what's
next. That way it doesn't depreciate significantly and my investment
remains largely intact.
I quite fancy the new BMW 1200GS.

so...it just *looks* like you buy another bike every month, when in
fact it's only every other month.
I've only had 6 bikes in the last three. Which I suppose makes you
only 3 times worse. I've only had 9 bikes ever, mind (in the 7+ years
since passing my test).

aye. Even having a go on other people's bikes, I doubt I've
ridden 70 bikes in the last 10 years.
Actually I think it was the tyre - it was some sort of patched touring thing
that looked well past it's best.
That's why I was so disappointed, as the VFR has rave reviews everywhere -
but when I rode one it was a let done.
The brakes are superb though - and that was the non-ABS version.
What the _fuck_ are _you_ on about?

That beats me. I bought Gamma in the crate in September 1983
and shipped her off to Canada. Left Canada 29/6/87 and she's not been
on the road (or registered) since. Black Kat is a 1990 bike, bought
new for CHF8,999 on 30/6/1991. I'm pretty sure I eventually sold all
the bikes I left in Oz...

Hey, I've never frogged before and cancels don't generally work well.
Up until May last year, I'd had one of my RD400s since April 7th 1990.
For the thick, that's just over 12 years.
