Yeh pretty shitty huh? Makes you really wonder what their testers have to say about it, the thing must handle like a beast and be slow as shit

wow that seems so out of synch for Honda. Usually they are happy to have everyone test their stuff and get all the free praise. every company has peaks and valleys I guess, sounds like this might be a deep valley.

I hate that bike. I don't know what Honda was thinking, but that thing is so freakin' ugly it's not even funny.
Honda finally gave the masses what they asked for. A liter flavored VFR. Too bad they screwed the rest of it up.

Wow. Fuck that bike. I've been unimpressed since the beginning. It's ugly as fuck, it's heavy, and it costs a fortune. Technical advancements be damned.

I like it, but for what it is the new Ducati sport tourer would be more fun, the updated Concours would be the better interstate bike.
I like that the VFR is a technological tour de force but I wouldny buy it on that alone.

When you talk about both cars AND bikes, the Japanese had their heyday in the 90's. Great styling, suspension geometry, engines, etc. Now everything is bland and overweight. They are just butt-hurt that people would dare criticize their products. They're accustomed to all the suburbanites & soccer moms walking into Honda dealerships and paying full MSRP for their stuff.
Dump all your stock in Jap automakers and put it into Korean. Last edited by Homeslice; 01-29-2010 at 06:56 PM.. |

Whats worse is the hard luggage isnt even included.
Saw it at the bike show and it didtn do anything for me. The system that allows you to detatch the luggage is prety nice and real easy but the bags are on the smallish side. |
