I like the current VFR and I'm considering buying one for my wife next year to give her something she can keep up to my Hurricane with when we start going touring together (she has an '83 Kawa KZ550 now).

I still have not seen anything to replace my '87 Hurricane. I've seen some bikes I like almost as much such as the Black Bird or the ZX12. But why spend the money for something that I like "almost" as much as what I have now?

I had some interest in the VFR12 but unless it really has better looks in production than what I've seen so far, it ain't it for me.
