Hello. Does anyone know if there will be" I have to wait for the 2012 vfr " improvement that will be that much better than the 2010. With cost the way the dealers are letting the 2010 go for is it really worth waiting. Thanks Mike
It might be really worth waiting in the aspects of getting a 2010 or 2012. On one respect they may not order 2012's in the US as many sit on unsold 2010's so they will be less apt to buy or order 2012's. Which could affect 2010 pricing and push it lower. I highly doubt it will go much lower but I could be drastically wrong. I bought about a month or so ago when I saw that the new 2012 cbr hit and figured they wouldn't change the 2012VFR. Such is life. The 2012 Don't expect any price moving on the bike as they added new stuff to the VFR. The advantage of getting on the order list first is you email all the companies and tell them you have a loaner bike for product manufacturing and get free goodies sometimes. If not free extremely discounted price. So ups and down's Free stuff or discount on bike you pick... Kind of win win on both bikes
If you check for the 2010 VFR1200 on eBay right now, they are going new for $10K - $11K. That's less than what they were going for just yesterday. I checked Honda's website to see if there was an incentive on them and there is nothing listed there. Those prices are really good. If I was in the market for another bike, I'd be buying.
Thanks for the info.Which leads me to my next question. I have always ridden bikes with a clutch , which is fun , I like shifting gears, I realize the dct can be shifted, but is it as much fun and is there going to be more potential problems down the line. This will probably be a very long term bike for me.
That is a question I can't answer. I defer the answer to ones that have DCT. My thought is I ride a motorcycle to enjoy that but I guess the push button is pretty cool. Some people may make the statement that its a 1200CC scooter.
Maybe the question to ask is why you're considering a DCT. If you don't mind the clutching and shifting, then why change? This boils down to personal preference or sometimes physical needs.
