By process of elimination:

I've met Rouge, Larry, and USA Medic. They are actual people that exist in the real world unlike the VFX. So it will have to be one of the others.  Bigsmile

Next spring I will do very scientific, economic, and aesthetic comparison between the K1300S and the VFX (or whatever they call it).

I will let you know my results...

Watch for long term test ride reports from CW.  I think they will just borrow one.

Winner!  There are a few real world rider ride reports from the UK on VFRdiscussion.com... and ours haven't even hit the showroom yet.  Thus far very positive reviews.

No, he would buy the BMW S1000RR in red,white and blue and put a Honda emblem on the tank. It's what Honda should have built to be the new vfr anyway but they failed again.

Mercy Honda... you're going to give V4s a bad name messy with the most
perfect power band on the planet... first the silly VTEC... now this
bump... just wait till I see those Honda engineers again...

There must be a way to fool that ECU that 3rd gear is selected while
you are actually in 1st and 2nd???

Quote 2010 Aug Cycle World on the 1200cc Veefalo...

The VFR's rideby- wire system over-manages the l237cc V-Four
engine's power output in the lower two gears. Comparing output in
second gear versus that produced in fourth shows a 25-hp/lO-ft.-lb.
deficit between 4000 and 6000 rpm in second! This was not only obvious
but very annoying while trying to chase the Ducati up one of our
favorite SoCal roads. Let the revs drop too much in second gear then
snap open the throttle and the engine will only gradually deliver what
the right wrist is requesting. Maybe Honda knows something we don't,
as later in the day during a photo shoot in a faster sweeper where the
engine could sing in full glory from 6000 revs up, the VFR was laying
down long, arcing trails of black rubber a la Dani Pedrosa on his
RC212V MotoGP racer.
