any vfr owners out there that want the power of this bike but do not want to sacrifice the style / handling / and appeal of the previous models? check out my channel for the solution.
I don't mind it so much though the vocal rumble of the V-4 the Bike it replaced is gone .. the sound alone is what set the VFR apart from the rest 1200 cc's ? sounds more like it has 12.
@UltraSWG In the end, does that add up to buying a whole different bike for just touring? Insurance and everything? Probably not. I guess we can agree that it could be toured on, however, there are bikes specifically made for touring.
Again, I own a Busa, it sucks as a tourer. The fact that you would have to do a chain adjustment several times during a tour, and go through half a tire's life in a simple cross-country is evidence enough. Not to mention the maintenance schedule on a Busa is expensive, so adding that many miles is money. The bad ergo's for a 3K+ mile trip is just the cherry topper. With the availability of cheap sport-touring bikes, touring on a Busa is just a waste of a fine Hyper Sport.
@UltraSWG I guess we'll never know until one of us tries. I'm positive a busa is a fine touring bike. Faster you get there, the less time you have to ride...
@UltraSWG I could definitely tour on a busa, but I guess i'm more hard nosed then some riders. My R1 isn't nearly as comfortable, so maybe i'm just comparing the two of them too much.
@Kalustian7 If you look at my vids, you'll see I own a Busa. As a Busa owner, there's no damn way in hell I'd tour on it. I know some people do, like Pashnit, but frankly, a Viffer is a FAR superior touring bike in every way.

@Kalustian7 Perhaps. But if you can tour on a Busa, then you would consider a Viffer a Lazy Boy on wheels.
