MCN Video VFR1200

Just saw this on youtube... Sounds like a few folks aren't all that impressed... Hey Cynic (Steve) was that you in the Video?

Usually, I quite enjoy hearing the British accent, but (and tell me if it's just me) I find myself wanting to throw a rock at the MCN reporter (first/last guy you see). Can't say I'm surprised that the guys with the lightweight GSXR and CBR600RR are "underwhelmed" either.

So it wasn't the second coming of Jesus then? Mr the Gixxer dude? The vfr800 guy however says its better than his 800? Now thats the guy whose opinion matters to me. 150 miles on a gixxer doesn't qualify as a ride in my book, it certainly doesn't on a vfr! 500 miles in all sorts of terrain then maybe, perhaps my favorite Black Canyon loop for example, 3 mountain passes the BC and a bit of high speed slab to round out a full day of riding - the bike that does that in stride is the one I choose without killing my wrist, butt, back, knees, or neck!

Typcal, superficial MCN journalism.

Yup that's 'our Cynic' (right at the end before the MCN guy)

I flew past a silver VFR1200 yesterday in the cold spring air, the bike looked great, even stuck in traffic

Sorry I have been a bit quiet - been away on holiday.

Yes that's me at the very end, freezing my nuts off for the camera!
