When the time came for me to upgrage my 250 crusier it was almost beyond a doubt the 2002 Vtec VFR.When non biker friends ask is it a good bike, I tell them that it"s the BMW M3 of the bke world. One of the faster bikes around, extemely great to look at, enough performance for me(and most others), just about the greatest build quality, a very distinctive engine in both feel and sound, able to be very sports oriented and yet comfortable enough, top notch reliability, and a product that the parent company is extrememy proud of. This i think is the best way to describe the bike to non-bikers.
