6th Gen. loosing its appeal?

As you wish....

SW Motech makes quick release side racks with adapters to Givi, Hepco&Becker and Krauser bags for the 'banana seat' f4i

Krauser makes a K-wing top rack attachment for the banana seat f4i as well....

Unfortunately I do not believe that the two can be used together without some modifications. Also, more unfortunately nothing is made to fit the early F4i with the stepped seat, or any of the newer 600RR's, as these do not have the grab handles (unless you count a vinyl strap) which you would need to mount a rack to. A little creative fabrication that's within the abilities of most mod-itis infected VFR owners could probably take care of any of these problems, though.

It should also be noted that Corbin makes seats for both versions, and Givi among others makes a raised touring windscreen for both, but the 'banana seat' bike is the one that feels right to my backside in any event and may not even require a Corbin as it is a little firmer and wider than the stock seat on my 3G VFR, although not as good as my existing VFR's Corbin. The banana seat bike has less angle in the subframe than the later sexier looking earlier F4i's and the riding position is the way I like without needing risers or convertibars, although these are also available for the F4i if you desire.

By the way, I have no interest in twisted throttle, but have used them in the past and have been pleased with the service.

 

No, it was the droves of people who, because the bike was in so frequently and for so long for warranty repairs, went and bought another manufacturer's bike and never bothered to pick the ST3 up from the shop... :wink:

 

I think your right on. last years bike show attracted alot of interest in that RWB almost as much as 600rr. honda should a made better effort to promote 25yr anniversary. i dont think i saw one add in any of the bike magazines i read
