Hi there. I traded in my 1998 Honda VT1100 Shadow ACE Tour bike and walked out with a brand new, metallic silver 2008 VFR. Not my first sport bike, but I had known for awhile that a VFR was going to be my next bike. This website actually greatly influenced my decision since everyone here seems to love their bike so much. I also notice that there aren't very many used examples for sale, so it must be a good bike, right? I've previously owned 2 Aprilias: a RS50 and a Mille. I couldn't be happier with my new bike, and I'll post some pics when I get them.
