2815 miles

Yes I still have it, Nearly 2 years and who would think that me and the 1200 would still be one.

Just returned from the dealers to get the latest ECU update, i was having an occasional fuel glitch. The only black mark against a brilliant bike.

I have just recently added an R1 ro my collection, but I have pledged to use the VFR everyday, first off all to get some use out of it and to also see if the issue is resolved. A years warranty left so better now to see if there are any issues.

Had an amazing 500 mile day out around Scotland, comfort was just perfect, way beyond my expectations. Without doubt I could have done more. It is a truly brilliant bike, being under utilised by me, but I have to say it was made for me, I just wish I could get out on it a bit more. Ah well there is always next year.

2229 Miles

Bike went for it's annual service, nice to be on it again, the poor bike has been neglected and the ST1300 has been getting the miles. Time to re-bond, but i have had it over a year, it's had an annual service which was very reasonable.

It's such a brilliant bike to ride, i am going to make a lot more reasons to get more miles under my belt. It is a awesome bike, so easy to ride.

Sunday 2146 miles

I invited my brother to come along for a run, i let him take the VFR 1200 and we took the Pan. Good day out and my brother had nothing but praise for the VFR. Being a ZZR1100 Man since the first one, he really appreciated the power but was blown away at it's handling. Seeing it ridden by someone else I could not but admire its posture and its sound.

2048 miles

Well, a few days commuting out to work but the poor VFR keeps getting pushed to the side as the Pan takes over the daily commute.

However, I hope this year to take the VFR for some great solo runs. it is an amazing bike and if you are a sports bike only person then you are always going to roll this bike out and leave the ST behind. You might also be surprised by how good a sports bike this sports/tourer labelled bike is. However the Pan just ticks all the boxes most of the time. Poor VFR, Honda called it a road bike and that it certainly is. Probably the best.

1775 Miles

After a day spent doing the garden, a nice evening run seemed a good way to finish of the day and it did not let me down, wonderful bike, perfect balance of power, comfort and real road handling. Lovely machine.
