The new VFR is taking a beating by the public in the press. Holy cow. Apparently people want a 1000 cc 450 pounds, single sided swingarm, gear driven cams and not much else is going to make them happy.
What is the word in the VFR community?
Yes, just like Elaine! Only far more funk and a fraction of the rhythm.
I've ridden twice with a guy who has the latest VFR800. I've talked to him a bit and have read a bunch about it, both in the moto press and forums. Your description of what many people want is pretty spot on but those who own it and my own personal opinion is that it's an amazing bike. I think the design elements are better than ANY of the previous generations. It remains more on the sport side of the spectrum rather than the touring side as evidenced by the aggressive ergos but there are those who are using it as a touring machine and rave about the ease of handling and responsiveness of the motor (even without those much sought after gear driven cams or extra cc's).
For the most part, the new VFR is getting high praise in the forums. I feel it's well deserved. But, as you know, everyone seems to know exactly what the perfect bike is and yet, amazingly, no one seems capable or willing to make it. Haha.

Yes, from your discussions it seems like a nice helmet.
My point exactly!
