lol, you'll be lucky. I only have an SV as well.

I'm bored too and flicking through magazines has me wondering about Honda CBF1000's and VFR800's with heated grips and panniers. Someone shoot me.

Nowt wrong with either if those bikes. VFR's are awesome all round tools and the new CBF1000 goes like stink. Both bikes are certainly worth a look.

apparently most vfr owners rate them as a bit slow. A 1000cc VFR would be tempting D or a mini 1000cc Blackbird - without the massive insurance

Thng is, VFR V4 engine does not make a lot of power for the size and number of cylinders. They are also quite heavy - all that 'build quality'. Hence they are quite slow compared to a race rep.
