People like me will be cannibalising parts from this bike I reckon. The venerable 782cc V4 with perfect fuel injection? Tempting....
I would test drive one before considering this to ensure you don't end up with an engine tuned for a totally different setup. But if it works...... :fing02:
I love the concept, sounds like a more comfortable VFR that will fit two fully grown adults. It's a street bike so I don't get all this whining about it being too heavy, I mean is this the new mantra of the iBiker...too heavy blah blah blah. Tons o'light weight bikes for wee folks on the market, I personally like a substantial bike that can seamlessly go from twisties to backroad to interstate in all weather conditions. Lightweight delicate poser machines we've got, real useful bikes for riders that... uhhh .....ride not so much. Bring it on!!!!!!!
Edit to add: One more rant, Motorcyclist criticized the bike for using old 10 year old technology yet they wet their pants when Harley F'in Davidson comes out with a new paint color for their antiques. U.S. bike makers wish they could come up with a true domestic bike half as good as hell, a FOURTH Gen VFR!!

I didn't say that it wouldn't go into my garage without a supercharger....
Seriously, this would be perfect for supercharging. Probably better than the current motor!
