New 1232cc vfr has auto, slipper clutch and abs. It is kind of odd looking IMHO but maybe it grows on you.

its a Honda so it should be quite a bike.

It's nice Big Red finally came out with something "new". It appears they are going after BMW. The VFR seems to be a direct competitor to the K1300S. I am guessing pricing should be similar to the KS and the looks no doubt reflect it as well (IMHO). I am not so sure what to think. Looks rather sterile which is typical for Honda. I was hoping for more of a XX replacement. That said, I am sure the new VFR will be a good mile-muncher.

Must confess, I am waiting for it. ZX14 is a stunner, but the chain is a real ball ache on long rides. We have no centre stand in SA and it is a mission to wax the chain without a stand. And no, the GTR 1400 is not an option. Just doesn't work for me.

Why not just import the center-stand for the ZX14? I agree, it makes chain maintenance a snap when on a trip. Another option is to go with a Pro-Oiler. Long distance gurus swear by those. Hell of a lot cheaper than a new Viffer!

Thanks CoolWhip. Have mailed them. We have something called a Scottoiler in SA, but a bit expensive. I use a wax from Australia called GoWax. Anyone else use it? It is in a bottle and squeezes onto the chain. Virtually zero mess and fling off. A centre stand looks soooo ugly with a 4 into 1. I will probably just carry on battling and cursing everytime I wax the chain! Dumb, aren't we?

i think the new vfr looks like a black guy with a british accent and a pink thong was on the design team. it reminds me of a fat white girl wearing expensive designer clothes to hide things instead of weight loss. not good. i guess my grand dad was right, money can't buy good taste. if it could, donald trumph would have nice hair.

will be ordering one..already been out for a ride...fuel tank is small, but over a day I think I could cover more miles on a VFR than a ZZR(yes I have owned one for the last 2 years). The VFR's wind protection is the best I've ever encountered and think is will allow more miles in a day and be able to walk the next day. I like the looks and I love the build quality of the Honda, something I can't say about the ZZR, love riding the ZZR, HATE owning it, it has been in the repair shop soooo much.
