The 06 Honda VFR. Not that I want to or plan on getting rid of my VTR anytime soon, but I would really like to take a few rides on this:

Great range, good ergo's, acceptable power and handling.. Probably not a great track weapon, but I'm sure it could handle its self ok on a few track days. Looks good in black too.

color scheme seems bland for a bike, as in plain... They need the retro red/white/blue scheme from the 80's! That would be cool...

In the late 80's early 90's, Honda made a white VFR that looked really sharp. My 1990 CBR is mostly white, but it and the white wheels are a pain to keep clean. I don't clean the rear wheel very often as can be seen in my avitar.

I agree, but what would be even cooler would be a retro VFR 1000 like Honda had in the late 80's. Even better, it should be a VFR 1300.

I think the white looks pretty sharp.

Ya know, this got me thinking about This

 

[Gas Man]

Ya I'd sport one of those!

I had an 03 RED one. Their pretty cool with the V-Tec and they handle pretty well too! I ran Diablo's on mine and didn't have any chicken strips, if that tells you something. Also had exhaust on it and some cagers would pull up at a light and tell me it sounded like a Nascar when I came by them.:2cents:

Something a little off the beaten I-4 path too...

ooooooooooh! My first "real" sportbike (or so I thought so) the 1989-90" Hurricane in Pearl Glow White! I loved that bike! My Dad always wanted me to love riding the way he did. It worked! Thanks Dad! :dthumb:

I have always loved and respected the VFR's for what they are. Not a race replica but a good rider could show a few of them up with one. Pulse, still be able to walk after a 3 to 500 mile day.

I wouldn't get rid of it if it was given to me. I'd rock it.
