I don´t blame you for loving the VFR. What other bike do you need? I got mine 2 years ago after riding allsorts and it does everything I want it to. Reliable, comfortable, economic, fast, sounds good, looks good, pillion friendly, no overstated gimicks, a thinking wo/man´s bike! Like you say, it probably lends itself to the mature rider because its just a sensible bike and in my experience, riden by sensible bikers.
