The Loan Bike !!!

Postby timbox2 » Sat Mar 01, 2008 11:17 am

Okay, I wont even put the H... word, they had run out of Pans, so I got this instead,
I can see why people rave about them, but still a bit, emm characterless??

And the Vtec, bolloxs, whats that about, in a sport tourer??, nothing below about 6 g, then the banchees wail, still Im not complaining, better than having nothing to ride.
And I can use it for work all next week as it has the sandwich boxes.

Honda

There, I said it for you :lol:

It's better than the bus, and loan bikes always seem to need revving more....

It'll be interesting to see how it affects you as a rider. All the VFR riders I come across seem to have some sort of attitude problem, and have something to prove.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Nope. Never noticed this as a former VFR owner. :)

It's only the VTEC owners. All the others are humans.

Must be cause they still get a lot of crap from the owners of REAL VFR's. You know, the ones with the gear driven cams. :D

This definately needs revving, and the ABS works, I can attest to that, several times today.

Attitude??, Wanna step outside?? :wink:
