I have to say that IMHO, the best looking VFRs have been the VTEC ones from 02 onwards, with the underseat exhaust, SSSA, massive headlamps - like the Boxeye, it's unmistakeable, nothing else looks like it. To me, the new VFR800 just looks a bit blang, a bit samey. Reminds me too much of a CBR600F.

its a far cry from the 750 FV, the thinking mans sportsbike. Later vfr 800 not so good IMO. Having said that they do handle.VTec fecke dit up, they should have made it 1000cc, that wud have been the ideal solution, more grunt , similar weight.

vfr1200- ride one then see what u think. I think they are an awesome bit of kit .Nowt like the 800 at all. More a take on how hyperbikes can handle...

What a disappointment the styling is.
