How did the VFR go for you? Impressions?

I think he is looking for the 21 inch love.

While a 150HP adventure bike is definitely appealing my wallet can't handle it!

I love it but it is a bit long in the tooth. I find myself redlining it all the time when I never did the FZ1. But then again it is very comfy and ideally setup for a nice long vacation on two wheels.
My current passion just happens to be adventure riding. It will be something else in a few months I am sure.

That 21" spoked front makes a huge difference off road!

You have had Multistrada on the brain for awhile Dustin! I think you should get one!

For off road the bigger the front the better. Some of the rocks and especially holes would have destroyed a smaller diameter wheel, or just thrown me over the bars (which happened once anyway).

I'm just too poor to own anything Italian, I think. Japanese or German for me & I'm not sure about the German part

This isn't at home with you yet? A guy who works in this building has one. I pause often to daydream about it when I walk by it at lunch. Sweet looking, sounding and performing ride!

I hear ya, I am lusting over the 1200gs adventure but I've read too many mechanical horror stories regarding the big bmw, the yamaha looks cool is less money and less maintenance. Those Italian bike are sexy tho!

I know I visit my garage more often lately.
Uh, if I had that bike in the garage my wife would be jealous of my time spent in the garage with such a sexy thing! Might not be good for the marriage?

The power looks to be pretty similar to your Honda VFR.
You don't think you might get a bit bored with it?
Maybe something with a bit more grunt so your not redlining it all the time?

This bike is not about power to me. A sport bike is.
Do it.

I actually ride my DRZ far more lately than the VFR and I guarantee it has no power at all. But it keeps me grinning ear to ear every time I ride it.
