Idly toying with the idea of getting a VFR800 as a second bike for longer runs out of the city and doing a bit of touring on. Does anybody have any advice/tips about them?

E.g.

And a translated link in case your German's nicht so gut.  :cheesy:

Early V techs were berated...sorted as they progressed...bloke I ran with had a Crossrunner...same engine...and if he sustained speeds above 80 to 85 mph it drank fuel at a bigger rate than any of us expected.
In terms of everything else they are still a safe predictable motorcycle and could still show some more recent machinery up in terms of durability and stable safe handling.
