One can slam the VFR all you want, but fact remains it is a very, very capable sport-touring machine and if I was in the market right now, I would have a long hard look at it. Not only is it one of the few sport-touring machines still available, it's a Honda. And after spending more money on bad design and poor QC in the last 6 years of BMW ownership than the 20 years of riding Japanese combined before that, I pretty much had enough of the no longer existing German 'grundlichkeit'.

That said, I love both my beemers and if they keep going strong like they are now, they're not going anywhere anytime soon.
