I had a VF1000R a couple of years back. A rose tinted glasses purchase I will admit. The bike was amazing, powerful and the quality of fit and finish was also really good, but like yourself I'm quite a small chap and the VF is a big heavy bike. I had a long stretch over the tank to reach the bars and I didn't gel with it so I sold it less than a year later. (Attachment Link)
When I see lists of bikes like these I can't help wondering how many actually run? Please don't mistake this for envy; at one time I had 2 cars and 2 bikes on the road and having to keep up with tax, insurance and MOTs was like being an unpaid fleet manager! Never again.
