_Nearly_ bought a VTR, got the VFR instead. IMHO the full fairing looks better (especially in red) and the engine is so much smoother. You can get a nice example for 10 -12k.

VFR is a sport-tourer though. Taking it through the coro loop it didn't feel too tourer-ish but maybe it does on the track? Give one a go anyway, a little perspective can't hurt.
