What do you all think 5 hundred and some lbs. I am sure the fit and finish is near perfect.

I really like the VFR800 - it was *almost* good enough to get me into the seat of a Honda, but the lack of USD forks kept me away.

Now it has them... but weighs a TON. No thanks.

for the weight and length I would rather go with a more powerful german scoot.

Other than being 5+ years late and 75lbs overweight...Honda will want $17K for that bike. They, Honda, totally abandoned US fans of the XX.

The Blackbird was (still is) the hyper sport-tourer that would eat up 100 mile chunks of asphalt like nothing I've ever ridden.

Ah, screw 'em, I'm going to break my self-imposed 'I'll never spend a penny with HD again' ban and go pick up a 1125R on the cheap.
