Visordowns review of the new VFR800.

Seems a little lacking in details like the rider didn't really get much saddle time. But, I really, really like the look of this bike. It's priced way above my means, but something I can see myself picking up in the future.

I like it but no cog drive Thumbs Down That's what made the earlier VFRs special, replacing it with gimmicks like dashboard heated grip display and self cancelling indicators doesn't do it for me.

Any reduction in weight is welcome, but it's still far too heavy.

The move to a single front-mounted radiator is good though.

I prefer new VFR800 to VFR1200 for its styling.
Wanna see other colours.

It looks nice but I can't help thinking I prefer the outgoing model. I like the new technology but it's a shame they've done away with the underseat 'zausts also why is it so heavy?
