...you're out on a VFR800 and start thinking 'you know what, this bike's really, really nice'. :?

How things change in 12 years. :D

Richard, I know exactly what you mean.. :)

I no longer lust after sports bikes, I have a Sprint RS , a similar bike to a VFR in many ways and of similar vintage, and you know what, I fookin love it!..

Yeah I`am getting old....yeah I don`t give a damn.... :D

no that's mentally and physically impossible, superdreams can never be lustworthy.... now if you'd said rd250lc's ;)

Am hoping that'll kick in soon, Greg. :D

Always remember the 400 Superdream was a very good bike - very different to the under-powered slug which was the 250. Still, it was better than the GSX250 and - even worse - the XS250.
