So, I sold my 2008 FZ6 last Tuesday and picked up a 2007 VFR. I got a terrific deal on the VFR, 6000 miles, full givi luggage, touring and original windshield, and built in Garmin Zumo 450 for $4600! It's the 25th anniversary edition and looks nice. I felt horribly guilty for selling my FZ6 - it served me well and my wife liked getting on the back. I was quite attached.
First impressions of VFR - SMOOTH!!! Everything is so smooth. Gear changes, hydraulic clutch, engine rumble, and lower RPM. Engine is noticeably more torque and although the wet weight is 80lbs more it doesn't feel heavier when I ride it. Handlebars are definitely lower (though, higher than my Monster), but peg position seems similar to FZ6. I'll post pics later.
I fully plan to stick around this forum where lots of great people abound!
