3171 miles




2 years, only 3000 miles.  To be fair I have been busy with quite a few bikes.  I took the VFR up North last weekend and had a blast.  Such a good bike, it has a lot of power and is very sure footed.  I love being on the R1, nothing beats it for precision but for me the VFR can come very close to an almost perfect road bike.  Yet again you have to remember that it is a shaft driven long wheel based motorcycle.  It is due its service and I am getting the rear panel replaced under warranty, a common fault and very odd on a bike that is so nicely put together.

I stepped away from it for a while, the Pan, the CBF and the R1 but I think our future will be secure, I can never justify the huge loss of money nor will I ever be able to afford such a good bike and so it is staying put.  Hopefully start to get the miles together.

A very good bike ruined by Honda's misguided advertisement up and then the full accessories give away after only 6 months, whilst us poor first adopters got nothing.  Still I am not bitter.
