[QUOTE="flyinlow, post: 212070, member: 1311"] You guys who are interested in a VFR should really take a test ride first. I had a 2004 and while it handled great for being a heavy bike, I finally couldn't take the Vtec anymore. This thing is a 2 valve per cylinder motor up until 6400 rpm (7000 rpm if you have an 02-05) and its like somebody hit the nitrous bottle at that point when the Vtec engages. This isn't the same Vtec as on their cars. And it gets annoying trying to keep the bike up in that rpm range all the time because its a V motor and not an inline. I sold mine to buy the FJR and never looked back. I would have kept it if it would have been a normal 4 valve per cylinder bike like the old VFR's were. [/QUOTE]
