    Sorry if this has been done to death. I thought I'd attach a couple of photos of the 2008 from the show:

    Okay, so I have been an official "lurker" for a bit, and I have finally decided to commit to a VFR. I am selling my Ducati to get a better all around bike that is a better commuter/touring bike.

    Icing on the cake was the Washington D.C. International Motorcycle Show. What was funny is that the biggest draw at the Honda booth was the VFR. I have read how the VFR is going away due to poor sales and lack of interest, but you would have never guessed that today. In fact, I had to wait several minutes just to finally sit on it. It was the crowd pleaser of the Honda exibit.

    The 2008 VFR in silver is beautiful. This is coming from a guy who is convinced that red bikes are faster so just imagine my mental state right now.

    Anyways, thanks for letting me lurk and finally decide on my next motorcycle chapter. Oh, kid on the right is my son on his way to winning a guitar hero competition!

    I like the gold brake calipers on the top pics.!
    Looks kinda Brembo-esque

    Silver has always been my favorite color Many of my cars have been that color including the one I have now which is a very dark silver (Diamond Graphite). My VFR is red though since I bought it used. I think I would have preferred Silver, but I'm happy with Red. It's a loud color so it can be seen by the drivers out there so that helps.

    Gold calipers are on the ABS models while the non-ABS models get the black ones.

    Aha!
    That explains that ... we don't get ABS here in Oz
    My Husky has gold Brembos and they are a lot easier to keep clean than the anodised black on my Viffer. :smile:

    Nope. This was the '08 show and that's what they're giving us for '08.

    Sarcasm... that's a what good leaderhip entails.

    Yes, silver is pretty... it is kinda like gray with make-up on. Nice personality.

    I'll keep the RWB thank you.
