I know some of you guys have had VFRs and other mentioned. Plusses or minuses?
Todd I think you know I have had a VFR for years. My last one was a 2001, the last of the gear driven cams. Unfortunately no yellow 2001's. VFR owners are a fanatical group and you can read all you want about them here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?

Plusses: Does damn near everthing well. From cross country excursions to track days.

Minuses: If your inseam isn't at least 32" you will find it a tall bike. Mine is 30" and I had to lower it a bit.
