I've covered 94,000+ miles now on my 1998 VFR800 and even though I just ordered a 2014 CB1100 Deluxe, I'll never sell the VFR. I love the ease of adjusting the valves with the gear-driven cams; I am told by a mechanic that it takes 5 hours to complete a valve adjustment to a VFR with V-tec. I've added an Ohlin shock, and a Corbin saddle and have no complaints with the ride. I've taken 2,000+ mile trips 2-up six times now with, but the wife refuses to do any long trips we me on this bike anymore. I wish I could say the bike has been completely reliable, but it hasn't. I've replaced the regulator/rectifier three times now, finally replacing it with a Rick's Motorsports unit that is working well so far. I also replaced the alternator once, and the electronic speedometer sensor unit four (yes 4) times now. Other than that I completely love this bike, and I only hope that I'll like the CB1100 Deluxe as well.
