Had 2 vfrs as well. 99 non Vtec great bike......06 Vtec.

Vtec can be hard to live with and VFRs run very hot in town. Great bikes all the same.

I still think the Blackbird is the one to get. I have driven the length of france on a Blackbird in a a day and ya'd be as fresh as when ya got on it in the morning

Go for it....ya won't regret.

Huge difference in weight between VFR800 and Blackbird. Bird will be harder to live with on a daily basis though .
Really depends on what you are used to .
Buy the 01 up .

Only 5KG dry weight so it wouldnt be a huge issue

Open to correction on that

Fine looking bike this one. Have you ever tried one for size? Bit more of a crouch than you would think on them.
