    Over the last 10 years I have owned and ridden a lot of different bikes. Everything from cruisers, bobbers, cafe, sport, naked and supermoto in a variety of different sizes and speeds. I must say that hands down the vfr800 has become the #1 bike for me. I love the combination of hp and torque that the bike delivers along with its comfort and looks. I know that the vfr will forever hold a spot in my garage whether its my 6th generation or the 8th generation one sometime in the future. I would only consider adding on other bikes. I am glad to have this bike as a part of my life and to be a part of this vfr community. I already had an intro and build thread started but I really had to say how happy I am with this bike.

    They are pretty capable little beasties. I've ridden mine across country and on the track. My long legs were cramped coming across country, but I'd do it again right now if I could. It was a fun little plaything on the track too. It has a few niggles, but it's still good.

    P.S. tell me more about that phone holder you have there.

    I bought the phone holder off of ebay but I couldnt find a good way to mount it to the bars. So what I did was remove the bar clamp portion (just one screw) and then bolted it into the plastic cap on the steering stem nut. Took all of 5 min to do it. I havent tried it with my phone yet because I still want to run a head phone plug under the tank so that I could have my music and phone hooked up. Just a cheaper option than buying a bluetooth.

    I'll have to agree with you, love my 6 Gen for day to day trips, long touring rides and just all around use. Although I did buy a 5 Gen just to have for "play", I don't think I could get rid of either, unless Honda really ups the ante on the next go round. We'll have to wait and see.
