Today I took a test ride on the Honda VFR from Marshalls in Peterborough. Great looking bike and I was hoping it was going to be the all rounder that I've been looking for. Unfortunately not.
The bike was far more sport orientated that I was expecting, hard suspension, hard seat very short reach to the bars which made accurate turning difficult, especially on bumpy roads.
The engine was the thing that really killed it for me, no power at all under 3000 rpm, pretty good power upto about 6500rpm and then a big step up in power as the VTEC kicks in. Probably a great bike for riding to a track day, zipping around the track and riding home again but thats not what I do with a bike.
It's one redeeming feature is that it's a great looking bike.
