The latest greatest doesn't do it for me in this case. The new VFR is the ugliest beast known to man. Riding a Hayabusa, I feel I am qualified to make this statement. LOL
Honda should be shot for reducing the fuel capacity of a bike that is it's sport-touring flagship. Idiots.
The headlight is ass ugly. The taillights are ugly. The ONLY part of that bike that I even REMOTELY care for is the swingarm. ONLY the swingarm.
Did the designers forget about the fairings until the day before release? They appear to have been thrown on as an afterthought. Take them off and slap them over a stove and I could cook eggs on them. Talk about boring.
In typical Honda fashion, they don't give the consumer what they want. They tell the consumer what they will get. Were they smart, they would have taken all the Photoshops people have been doing for the last 5 years and used that as a starting point for the looks, if nothing else.
My best friend has a 1999 VFR. We have discussed a liter based VFR for years. He told me as soon as Honda built it, he would buy one. Then this abomination came out. Now, he's looking at anything but, because he hates this thing as much as I do, and he has 3 Hondas in the garage.
