I picked up the new VFR1200 today, what a piece of kit it is! The engine is a monster and that's with me still taking it steady, it's also incredibly stable. Comfort is clearly no where near a Strom but it's not as bad the Blackbird I previously had. The brakes are fantastic, one finger is all it takes. I've also gone for the DCT gearbox which works really well, smooth slick changes, near on undetectable. The shaft drive is very good too, just a slight bit of back lash now and again at low speeds. Downsides include, for example, virtually no underseat storage which I find inexcusable, potentially humongous bills if I ever the drop the thing and the obvious extra expense of tyres, insurance, servicing and such like.
