    I did this vid to show off my new tail tidy but I went off course into a rant about why I think the criticism of the VFR's "weight problem" is unfair IMO. Thought some of you might enjoy it - LOL (No need to make fun of my chicken strips - I've already been told I ride like a pussy about a million times :D )

    I'd say IMO the VFR ain't to far off, just a tank full of fuel in weight. 6lbs a gallon close to 30-35 lbs. I've always thought the 450lb wet weight for the viffer would be perfect.

    Fat as my 01 is, it holds the road very well. I am very confidant and comfortable with it all the way to peg, and knee down.

    Christ, you're an idiot. The worst thing is there's no effective way to impress this upon you. You'll never see how offensive your post is. It's the sort of post that if a newcomer visits VFRWorld and sees it, they'll check out, never to return.

    The only conclusion is there's no chance you're a licensed attorney. If you made it through law school, you're either a) Disbarred, b) You didn't pass the bar, or c) You never went to law school, but are/were a legal assistant.

    Rolled the CBR929RR on athe scale at the local mulch place. The 929 was low on fuel. The scale said 400. The bike feels like it too. Why couldn't they make those things more comfortable?
