You only ride like that when you are pushing it, you aren't stuck that way the whole time.

That orange ST is kinda schmexy though....

You can tell they're leaning inward. They can easily lift up. I guess some people think you need to be in the "race" position all the time.

I have stock clip ons on my vfr and I'm almost fully upright.

....

Or when you're accelerating WOT, struggling to keep your weight forward...

Or when you're cruising at 80+, struggling to keep yourself from getting blown back like a parachute, lol

But on a VFR it's one of those clipons that's bent upwards several inches, IIRC

Probably 1 1/2" or so. Nothing crazy high like heli bars.

Got the camera mount on the way. I know you can youtube other peoples bikes but if you nees vids for 0-60mph or whatever just let me know.

One thing I do not like about the engine is it has no oil cooler and holds just barely two quarts. This summer Im either going to add a water oil cooler like what you sport riders have our a 1" sandwich adapter and oil cooler rad with inline temp gauge. Im probably go route two so itll hold more oil.

What about an FZ8?

I think this is one of the best looking nakeds on the market at the moment.

It does look pretty damn good. It seems weird to say that about a Honda. Even for me.

I want those wheels for my VFR.
