The MSRP is $16k, that's almost $5k discount. That's not just a seasonal discount.
A Honda dealer in Baton Rouge has the 2010 with a sales sticker at $11,399.
The motorcycle magazines attribute the throttle jerkiness to excessive driveline slack. I don't have a 1200, but I test rode one when they first...
The Ninja 1000 is getting great magazine reviews. So is the 1200 VFR. I'd say go with your gut, the one that grabs you, the 1200 VFR.
Yeah, I ride it like I stole it from day one, I don't believe in babying new bikes. I've had it a month and a half and have 2,400 miles on it.
I voted that "I would consider" buying the new VFR, and I was sincere about that. But my wallet voted differently recently. My local dealer...
The VFR 1200 I test rode had the same "spray" in the rear wheel. I didn't explore it further, meaning I didn't touch nor try to smear it nor try...
deklund Thanks for the info. I test rode one and found the throttle response disturbing and the only thing about the bike that I didn't like....
This thread is tiresome, and yet, I am trapped into reading it all because there are bits of info here that are not available any place else....
I test rode the VFR 1200 when it first came out. I described the throttle response as jerky or twitchy. It was difficult to modulate slowly....
I agree with you 100%. I put 24k miles on my K RS and sold it two months out of warranty.
I was surprised they used the DCT as a big factor in picking the VFR as BOTY, it is not available in the USA yet and it is an unknown quantity....
MattB, I am with you on this one. I currently have an '08 VFR and I had an '04 BMW K1200RS. I put more miles on that BMW than on any other bike...
The bike has throttle by wire, it cannot be slack. Say more about what symptoms you noticed about the throttle. I test rode one at my dealer and...
I have no regrets about the Roadcrafter and I would buy it again. It leaks a little bit at the crotch because it relies on the crotch zipper for...
My first bike was a '68 Yamaha 100cc twin two stroke. A street bike. I don't remember the model name. I do remember it topped out at 70 mph...
The Aerostich Roadcrafter still leaks at the crotch
I haven't done it and have no desire at this point in time. Instead, I will say that I hope to do track days sometimes.
The official Honda USA website shows a 2010 800 VFR (unchanged from '09). The '10 ST1300 is black which is "new" or different from the '09 color....
My intent was to get a feel for sales, not an accurate, scientific study. I pretty much have the results, it is a slow seller. Out of 85 votes,...
