Greeting.

What did you think about the new VFR?

Thanks for the welcome!

As for the 1200, love it. I liked it before I saw it, but sitting on it... I'll wait and hope that they drop the price. Utterly gorgeous bike, though.

So Hssy, what was it like to sit on - I mean, was it like a pure sports bike or more like a sports tourer with regard to posture and handle bar reach? I sort of thought, from the pictures, that it is somewhere in between. What's your take?

I'm 5'8" (173 cm) and it was very comfortable for me. The salesman even held the bike up so that I could put both feet up on the pegs. Seat/bar ratio seemed pretty much like the VFR, maybe just a slightly longer stretch.

Phil, that was Mark Thompson who held the bike for you. He used to coordinate the HRCA rides after Brett Cross departed. Mark now works at SCM Campbelltown.

Yeah, he gave me his card afterwards. I'm hoping that I might be able to fernagle a ride from his shop later..
