Interesting, so they mount back into the VFR/RVF frame? Got a link to their site if they have one?

Friday morning tootled over to cyclespot to drop the vfr off to have the speedo fixed, id already expressed a casual interest in the rvf they had, and cheekily asked to take it out, although with my history they let me have it for a few hours.

Performance. Got on the motorway and opened her up a bit, there is quite a delay in the throttle response... It didnt seem to have the same punch in the midrange either. Took it round the harbour, sits on the motorway nicely, and is as joyous to ride as an nc30. Heading back down the motorway to cyclespot decided to really give it some herbs coming off the on ramp, flicking through the gears at about 13k it got up to 180 before slowly going off the clock, kind off disappointing as my nc30 seems to get to 200+ in under 10 seconds. More scrutinous testing in this area is required. Cant comment on economy as of yet.

Worth twice as much as an nc30? simply no. Its not twice the bike. Engine performance the nc30 wins hands down, handling will no-doubt be the rvf once its got some good rubber, and the rvf looks sooo damn good I could eat it...

err if you dont like it, and only bought it because of its looks why did you buy it???

Seems your NC30 is the winner here... why not wait a couple of weeks, get your full and upgrade to something better?

Maybe it's the craftman's curse? You see after repainting the the old VFR, most thought it was a great job. But to the craftmaster who knows every imperfection, perhaps it was gnawing away at him. Pure speculation mind you ... maybe he's just a bike whore?

Slap some Tyga fairings on and treat it to the Movistar paint job and it will look the shim dizzle!

Their latest ones look much better than the original lights they made. The originals buldged out and didn't suit the angles of the rest of the bike

G-Force don't have a website, but Mike Lohmeyer who races the G-Force bikes does..
Some information on there, but a bit dated...
Also check out recent info here

Haha, that was the site I found with the VFR450

So I guess they're still in development, not available for sale yet? Cause I'm interested in Morcs bike but 60,000k's is a bit high, it'd be more comforting knowing I could rebore it. There's also the option of finding another engine. Not that any of this should concern that bike untill around 120k right?
