BlackBird or VFR?

[catzilla]

Hi dudes...... Actually i'm intending to buy a CL2 sports tourer in Jan after i get my bonus and i'm still indecisive about which to choose from between the Blackbird or the VFR800. Or do u guys recommend other better Sports Tourer apart from the 2? Need some advice on the selection between the 2. Thx in advance for any info provided!

been riding Black Bird for 2 yrs,

 

pros

good reliable bike, spare parts readily available, low maintenace, consumption acceptable for 1100cc, very powerful in the mid rage to top speed, 6 gears, looks nice, versatile and narrow enough to squeeze through cars in jams. good brakes.

comfortable seating position. NOT A track bike so cannot compare to R1 and CBR900

 

Cons

heavy- 230kg reversing is a ######, tends to over heat due to the fairing, with box quite long other then that cannot think of anything else particularly wrong.

 

VFR never rode it, no comment.
