First Bad Impression: 2010 Honda VFR1200F

The first long-distance road ride aboard the new 2010 Honda VFR1200F at MCN (UK) did not go very well. Their rider complained that the bike is just not up to snuff against the competition - BMW, Ducati, etc. And, it does not even connect with you emotionally. Maybe he was having a bad day, or maybe it is true that the new Honda is just not where it should be...yet.

This could be a big part of the reason; if it were reversed, I wouldn't even be interested as I could find something else in that price range which would have more useful features.
