[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1050362, member: 329"] I got to take a long test ride on the VFR after it sat in the dealer's showroom for a year and Honda offered them a big incentive to make it a demo. I really liked the engine, it wasn't as smooth or as fast as my ZX-14 but it was fun to ride and had more power than one needs in real world riding. The suspension, however, was horrible, the worst I had enountered in the last 10 years. The simple fix for the shock was to replace it but I didn't know what to do with the forks except to spend a lot of time having them re-sprung and re-valved and I wasn't in the mood since the VFR was so overpriced. One of my friends later test rode it because he didn't believe the suspension could be as bad as I described but his assessment was the same. I heard the guy who eventually bought that bike was really happy with his purchase and didn't change a thing. [/QUOTE]
