VFR-Like

[Paul Master <master@xxxxxxx>]

I ran across the following in a history of the VFR at
http://dot.com.ph/uncle/vfrhist.html
 
"All VFR's cook the rider's ankles a bit. They all have pessimistic fuel
gauges. So if you have one, get used to it because nobody can fix it. The
engine on all the later models doesn't lend itself to much do-it-yourself
horsepower increasing, and that's fine. Without exception, each year's motor
provides a powerband that forgives the rider's mistakes, and allows you to
concentrate on technique, or perhaps take in the view without worrying about
rowing through the gears. The gearboxes and clutches are durable, and seem
to get smoother as the miles pile on. "
 
Doesn't it sound like the Triumph lad's got a little too close to the
target.
1) Heat
2) Fuel gauges
3) Smoother shifting over time
