Same impression here. The silver VFR looks a bit better than Honda red,
but the added weight/VTEC were negatives (the ST's ~460lbs is a bit too
heavy for me as it is).
ABS on the rear might be useful (need to practice panic stops more), but
VTEC is just a lame idea [my first bike had a similar scheme called REV,
and it wasn't any good then, either].
Having sat upon the '02 VFR, my immediate thought was, "Hell, I oughtta
just get the ST...".
btw, had the shop put on the GenMars while in for the 500mi service...
riding back, really couldn't feel much of a difference.
One idea I had was to install the Helibars clip-on -> triple clamp
adapters with a Trophy bar. That'd be comfy if everything fit, but am a
bit leery about altering the handle geometry too much.
