After almost 40 years of riding just bought my first VFR, a new 07. Got rid of a Buell because I was tired of taking it back and forth to the shop for multiple issues. So far so good. I like having a bike that can do a trackday or a long trip. Hopefully the reliability is as good as every other Honda I have owned. I do quite a bit of off-roading on a modded XR650L and that thing will not die. Always starts - runs great even on misreable low octane fuel in Baja. Looking forward to getting to know the VFR.
