2001 Honda VFR800FI review from United Kingdom
"The best money can buy"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Brilliant bike, the regulator/rectifier has to be replaced at 16000m.
General comments?
This is rated as the best bike in the world by the press, and you have to agree. It's not the best at anything compared with all other bikes, it just manages to combine everything into a great package - making it the master of all trades. Handling, comfort, brakes and reliability are superb. Get the pre V-tech model like mine, this bike still has a soul!!!
