Sorry not VFR related, well sorta as I do mention it in writing. Wow, had a chance to ride a friends 600RR, what a sweet bike, now if it only had a V4 under the tank. It doesn't have the midrange my VFR has, nor the sound, but boy oh boy can it carve up the roads, so light and nimble, this is what I'm talking about the VFR needs to be, Sweet bike.
That is a great bike.... A friend of mine has a red one. Great track bike and not bad for a short ride. Not something I would trade my VFR for though.
I've read the '07's are very comfortable relatively speaking, but they look/feel like the same old torture rack race replicas to me (I sat on one). What's your take - could you ride 2-3 hours?
All thou I was only on it for an hour, I could see another hour in the saddle, it surprised me just how user friendly it is, as I expect it to be so tuned for the track it would have no street manners, ha just the opposite, actually a pretty decent street bike. Boy does it like to wine, it never felt stressed kinda weird hearing a sewing machine turn 9K at 75 mph, still was very happy LOL was something else to hear at 13.5 rpms, she does like to spin up. Another true test was I was stuck in bumper traffic with never a whimper from me nor bike other than the radiator fan comes on at 214 degrees, the whole ride experince totally took me by surprise.
I got to ride an 07 at the Honda shop that I used to work at, and I was blown away at how fast the darn thing was. When I was riding, I realized that a 600 of today would out run, out handle, and just plain whip the 1999 CBR 900 RR that I owned!!! AMAZING MOTORCYCLE!! Now if Honda would focus on some other outdated models(VFR 800)!!
