    Definitely not the same. But if you can get past the styling, the new VFR is a fantastic bike, IMO, and lightly used examples present a really good value in the sport-touring category.

    I'm not picky. I have noticed though that all the bikes I have wanted in the past year are "muscle bikes".

    Oh, and I stole your picture Southwade! I still love your bike, and I have to refrain from going to the local Kawasaki shop because they currently have one just like yours :evil

    It's been said a hundred times in this thread, but the question is about TODAY, so...

    I've had a borderline obsession with the Griso for years. Almost makes me misty-eyed to look at photos, because its doubtful I'll ever own one. For various reasons, I'm a one-bike guy, and I don't think I'd be happy with this thing in that role. But wow....

    More Guzzi.


    I've never owned a cruiser....but to my eyes, this is going to be one beautiful bike that could change all that. Probably looking at north of 20 grand, though. :(
