This is my concession to comfort...

'98 VFR800. -1 front sprocket, jardine slipon + PC3. 10.6k miles.

I say concession to comfort because my other ride is a naked SV650. You can just barely see it in the first pic. It sucks on the long rides at freeway speed, lots 'o wind.

Definately a nice ride - whether short or long stretches, it fits the bill. Very nice ride (but I may be biased!!)! ; )

Great bike. You're not giving up much, if any, performance, and gaining a lot of long-distance comfort. I used to ride one.

Its actually faster than the SV in stock form and with the -1 front it pulls better. It feels like the SV in that I can cruise at 5k rpm and still have some grunt. Only it keeps pulling where the SV peters off.

I was riding back home today into a strong wind and OMG what a difference.
