Hi meddle and welcome to group. There is a lot of good info here and some of us will even answer questions. lol

 

Welcome to the club !
It should be interesting to hear your impressions of the VFR after being on a 599.....

Cool to see ya here.. the 599 is a nice bike, differance is going to be just the layout in short ya know, how it will fit the you, both do just about the same job going down the road as far as handling goes. you'll have a tad more power specailly in the mid range but nothing over the top and with the faring comes more wind protection. But ride wise bet they're just about the same. Oh you might notice the braking to be a bit different too, as the VFR has what they call linked brakes in where a little of both actions work both front and rear at the same time. of course this is just my 2 cents.

 

If I could have another bike it would be a 599. Those are just great around town thrashers. Super easy to handle in parking lots, twisties, etc. I miss my 650 Nighthawk.

You'll love the VFR though, good choice

 

How'd you like the 599?
I'm thnking of replacing my `92 NightHawk 750 with a 599.

I love my 599 only beef is its a little low. I just want a little more wind protection and i desire a little less sport and a bit more tour. also the ability to add luggage is a big plus.
