| Had a chance to ride a VFR in the mountains of Virginia, doing over 300 miles on mainly back country roads with some highway up and back. Nice competent machine, exemplary Honda quality (though it stopped on me pulling into a service station and refused to start for awhile). However, I found it cramped (only 5'10" or so) and pretty bland. My ST4 makes me smile everytime I crank it over as it has real personality everywhere. You will pay in upkeep, but perhaps the ST3 is better in that area and almost as competent. Rode one for half a day before buying the 4, but the new ones seem to be pretty nice and tractable. |
