For those of you with VFRs, is the weight a problem? On paper, they look pretty porky. (Not criticizinig, just asking.)

Noah-
I got my 96 VFR after having a 94 Duc 900SS/CR and a 90 FZR400, both of which were quite light -and light FEELING.
The ~550 lb wet weight of the VFR sounded quite intimidating but it's not a top heavy feeling porker like an old ZX10/11 et al. However, you will notice the relative heft the first few times you ride one...it's not heavy feeling so much as it is a *slight* bit more deliberate.
the viffers carry their weight quite well. It's not like the RC45 was THAT much lighter than the streetgoing 750.
Will you be able to throw it around like an SV650? no. Will it be a fantastic compromise, especially for commuting, sport touring, and general backroads blasting? absolutely.
