1st impressions in-person / MSRP = $16k

I want to like it, but just can't get over the looks. That pipe has to go.
Overall, for the price, If i were in the market - i would go with Kawi Connie 14 and it comes loaded for less than that price tag.

 

One beelion.

 

I took on a 2009 FJR1300 on a trip and would not trade straight up for my ’94 VFR750. I know many will think I am nuts and an odd ball but I am dead serious. If you like big heavy motorcycles you might like it as long as you can deal with the other issues.

 

That's what I was thinking...

 

The VFR made its debut in Edmonton today at the bike show. First impression was wow the bike is tight and smooth like a fine sports car except for the odd front headlights-but as I made the rounds to the other bikes I came away at the end of the day thinking that Honda, in my humble opinion should have made the bike lighter and not a porky 591 pounder. Don't get me wrong here the bike is beautiful and it certainly doesn't look like a porky pig-but I think they could have trimmed it back with a bit more concerted effort.

For Example BMW K1300 1293 cc clocks in at 503 lbs
BMW 1000 RR 999cc (sport) weighs in at 403 lbs
2009 vfr 800a weighs in at a chunky 551.

The bike is damn nice and pricey 19 200 +gst
