I think it's nice, though I'm not a sports bike person, normally. As the ad says, you won't lose this in a parking lot!  ____________________ Current: '14 VFR800X Test passed 31/10/12.

Not for me personally but I can appreciate it. |
Could he have been on the Honda's in '98?
I just had to go back and look at my pics from the TT that year. Honda were celebrating 50 years since Sochiro first went to the island, and blanketed the field; (seem to recall the R1's took the senior & proddy from them though!); and V&M were given a chunk load of cash and every privateer that had a Honda Motor done buy them seemed to have got a V&M pain-job!
Was woken up by a 'Hotwheels' livery Side-Car, or at least it was the one I saw as I poked my nose out the tent to find out what all the fuss was about; when they shifted they decided not to cancel the chariot racing; due to the weather; and slotted in unscheduled practice as silly-o-clock in the morning at the end of the week!
Trying to think; RC30, had had its time; and been replaced, about what, 95? By the RC45; but I have a feeling that '98 was the year they decided to out Ducati Ducati with the VTR, and that was what they put their top dogs on; but covering their bets at the TT they had every national team that could field a bike there in thier colours, with HRC technicians prepping the bikes for them!
However; height of the Rece-Replica era; they offered numerous 'Replica' pain-schemes straight out the brochure on the variouse different models; but I dont think that the V&M scheme was everuy one they duplicated; as such, its a little bit of history, and it does stand out as something a bit different and possibly a tad 'special'; and doesn't look TOO out of place on VFR.
Brave, and appealing in a curious sort of way; but... I don't think I would buy it; does make the other wise utterly unremarkeable VFR a 'little' more interesting; but that is what VFR's are about; just getting on with the job! 'Interesting' would be for a Fire-Storm, on which I dont think I would be so self conscious about clambering on it.

Its got a rack & tote bag on it FFS! Could you imagine if you DID use that VFR as intended and chuck on hard-boxes? It would look rather 'silly' the full on race-rep, with boring black boxes on the back! You'd just HAVE to get them painted to match... which would probably wind up with something looking like an Arlen Ness low-rider on stilts!!
Which... could be quite funky in an overdose of pisstaking bad taste kind of way.....
