  1. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 3 Oct 2012 01:40 Please tell me you're kidding... I am not now, nor will I ever consider, exchanging a motorcycle for a...scooter. Lee
  2. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 2 Oct 2012 00:07 And believe me, my thoughts are leaning heavily that way too. I have no concerns about Honda's quality whereas I fully recognize the Buell has certain quality control issues and Triumphs have their unique British…
  3. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 1 Oct 2012 13:29 Great thoughts- thanks guys. $$ is one of my defining issues here. That pretty much eliminates any new/newer rides like the GSX1250FA & Ninja 1000. The FJR is simply out of my league & way bigger than I'm willing to go.…
  4. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 21 Sep 2012 12:43 You could do far worse than a ZRX! They really are the ultimate exp ression of a UJM. Lee
  5. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 20 Sep 2012 22:47 I'm one of those folks who actually like the VFR1200. Pics don't do it justice IMO. And the new blue is stunning but....outta my financial league. Perhaps after I won the Powerball this weekend... Lee Just saying...…
  6. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 20 Sep 2012 19:31 I understand your quandry ... I have a VFR, then bought an FZ1 while on the search for "the best bike" (then sold it), then bought a 1050 ST and still have a hard time choosing between the 2 At 5'10" and 215, pilot…
  7. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 20 Sep 2012 19:28 Best of both worlds: Torocharger. $5g's? Uh, no..but thanks for the info! http://www.aaperf.com/vfrkit-gen6.html Of get the 1200. It has a wet weight of 594lbs compared to the 6th gen 550 or so. You can put a full after…
  8. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 20 Sep 2012 00:06 Judging by the amount of decel burble, I'd say they're not quite done tuning it yet. Mine has none at all. My ZRX, w/its performance mods, dynoed (as I recall) @ 128 rwhp & 82 ft/lbs of torque- not bad for an 'older'…
  9. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 19 Sep 2012 23:16 If you like the old style UJM and want to be upright in your riding w/practically no weight on your wrists yet still have a sporty composure, then the ZRX is your bike. Honestly, I love my ZRX & in a perfect world, I'd…
  10. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 19 Sep 2012 18:36 Torque? VFR? It's not like the VFR is a pantywaist bike...
  11. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 19 Sep 2012 18:36 I have a riding buddy w/one of those & he loves it but I say 'nah.' I swore after selling my 600+ lb. ZZR1200 I'd NEVER own another 600+ lb bike and set a 'next bike' limit of around 500 lbs. max. Once under power, the…
  12. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 19 Sep 2012 18:09 My VFR is for sale, I'm in love with the ST1050... I appreciate the offer but I'm looking specifically for a gray '08. Lee
  13. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 19 Sep 2012 18:08 Yeah, hondalover makes the point about the abundance of torque present on my ZRX and particularly in comparison to the VFR. I'm no rocket racer so revving the thing to kingdom come is really not my goal. But in reality…
  14. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 18 Sep 2012 09:52 Thanks for all the great input so far. I really appreciate your comments. In a perfect world, I'd keep both my ZRX & an the ST but in reality, I cannot afford nor justify both. I love my ZRX- she's my 2nd. She's a…
  15. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 18 Sep 2012 00:35 Hello all. Been lurking on the site for a while, trying to answer my own 'dilemma' as it were. Excuse me if this post is a bit long-winded but I'm thinking out loud as I write. I'm possibly in the market for a new bike,…
