I have had a few Hondas of late (ST1100 and VTR1000) that were less than
stellar in the reliability arena. This should not be a forgone conclusion.

Everybody rides a Honda, boring.

If you want to use the bike for some riding the bags are "real" important,
maybe you just have not had the opportunity to experience this.

Is your Honda dealer offering you a factory supported ECU tune? Will he
stand behind the tune you manage to get? How many options is Honda offering
for the VFR anyway? I really enjoy having something just a bit unique and
the fact that the manufacturer has designed the bike to accomodate options I
might like.
