Fuel tank got a whopping 0.1gal bigger!

The new VFR is pretty popular in some countries other than the US. A friend rented one in New Zealand and saw a bunch of them on the road. I have seen a total of about 5 on the road since it has come out.

I'd like one, but I don't think I could ride one all day. I tried the Triumph Sprint GT and if anything it was a more aggressive riding position than the VFR.

That bike will be constructed of un-obtainium for sure. It will be nice to drool over at the dealers though. But, keep in mind, there is a Ducati Desmosedici at what used to be ex-imports in Houston. That bike has been for sale for at least 4 years. It must not be that desirable...
