Picked up the Viffer from Palmy North last week and loving every minute of it. Only done 300k so far, but that will change. After looking for a 'do it all, bike for ages, this is spot on. It does remind me of my 2000 Viffer (non Vtec) I had ages ago, but loads better! Very comfortable, I did drop the seat down and had no weight on wrists although it was not to bad on the high setting. Led headlights are great a night.

299644299645 If you find city honda palmerston north facebook you can see the bike in the crate and also me picking it up. I will try and work out how to put pics on here. New viffers coming in october, got mine because I have been waiting since november 2013 for it when it was show at the italy show, and they thought I might explode waiting any longer. Hey think I may have loaded pics. The colour in the flesh looks better. Also I have taken the grab rails off and just put on the tail cover...which came free which was nice as I thought it was a expensive extra. Will put more photos on. Now looking for a slip on exhaust for that extra growl.

You'll save a heap of weight getting rid of the stock exhaust.
Very nice looker! It'll be interesting to hear your impressions when you have a few more k's on her.

Yes I was around at that time going through Otaki. Now got 600k on machine. It's taking a bit getting used to going around bends at speed as it's slower steering than I am used to, but it's rock steady on corners, think it would ride over a small car and not get out of shape!
Looking for new exhaust and the only ones I can get hold of are, Remus, Arrow, and poss Ixil when the factory come off holiday.
Picked up a deep long scratch on side fairing, bloody stones.....or was I leaning to much!

Very nice bike, Mate!
If the Remus sounds as good as it does on the 5th Gen ('98 to '01) bikes, then that's a good option.
Enjoy your ride, and make sure you keep it shiny side up!
