Nice to see a new addition to the sport touring segment. The VFR sure has enough power! Hopefully, the production version will have optional color matched, detachable saddlebags like the current VFR. A taller windscreen would be a nice option, too. Nothing sucks like knocking down a 500-mile day with wind and bugs in your face.

I hope the VFR makes it here, too. Traditionally, the U.S. has not been a good market for sport tourers. Honda will likely wait and gauge market interest.

Wasnt the VFR of past a good seller here?

I have been thinking about a Concours to replace the Warrior, might have to see what Honda is going to do.
