is there some issue with the brakes on it tho?

No. They work very well, two fingered stoppies if you want (or **** up like some....). On my second and love the V4 noise, all day comfort, pillion space, the VTEC rush (and sound). Lacks a bit of ground clearance, so maybe compromised on a track and two up mid-corner bumps will have the pegs, and occasionally exhaust, touching down. Flawed by a lack of stowage space under the seat.

Seriously considered a Sprint as an alternative to the VFR, not as nimble in the twisties IMO, but more speed and power.

The sprint is a great bike, fantastic all rounder and rock solid two up - only problem you might find if you are long in the leg is your knees might bang on the fairing.

If you want to try sitting on one to see how it measures up let me know and I can bring it round for you.

How about this? I think that it would meet most of your needs.
