I think it would be much more 'at home' on a GoldWing, and I could see it being much more of a positive on the true touring bikes. Then again, the FJR has the e-shift model, and the VFR seems to be going the way of the BIG sport-touring bikes, so I guess it makes some sense. I really would have preferred them to go the other way with a sport-touring focused bike though.
Hear, hear! I'm no Honda fan but a race oriented VFR would tilt my kilt!!! Heck, and maybe it would make for some interesting racing against the new Aprilla
