This is a fantastic motorcycle. It is a little on the heavy side, but that just helps to keep it planted in high winds. The comfort levels are just plain awesome, with the seat allowing a full day of riding with minimal discomfort and the ergonomics nicely spaced and relatively stress-free (I am 6'3"). Fuel economy is brilliant, and she is extremely reliable. I can safely say that she has hooked me. Unless I jump up to a bigger bike, I am not going to buying anything other than VFR800's for a long time.

I agree Ndlovu, it is an exceptionally good bike, but it is a cruiser so the grin factor is seriously depleted in that regard.
The handling is good, yet feels slightly cumbersome through the twisties (and possibly a little soft in the rear).
Good value for money though and reliabilty is top-notch.
