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.

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.

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...
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.
