Mam krótką chwilkę, więc daję ciut dalej . Przepraszam, że tak na raty ale czasu brak
COMPOSED HANDLING
Compared to the BMW K1300S the VFR feels lighter(even though it's heavier), and much more nimble. The BMW is longer and definitely feels like it. Both are stable, but where the BMW can feel numb as result of the Duolever front suspension, the VFR feels supple and reactive . It's another reason the Honda never feels dull, despite it,s overwhelming competence.
The BMW K1300R long-term test bike I'm running this year is certainly fine handling, but the VFR FEELS LIKE MAGIC CARPET

in comparision. Even compered to the brilliant KTM 990 SMT I rode 1000 miles in 24 hours on , the VFR stands out becouse of its composure.
Obviously this is no sports bike and it proved too soft for the track once the pace increased, but it could still hold its own at the back of a fast group on a track day.
Later in the day we headed out onto a road course - a tortuous mix of bumpy hairpins and faster straights - in the grounds of the Sugo track. What had been a down point on track - the soft suspension - suddenly become a plus on road as both the front and rear endstayed planted over the rough surface.
Combined with the V4's torque, this makes the Honda a deceptively fast road bike. With the suspension dealing with poor surfaces and the engine driving hard from 2000rpmto the 10,500rpm redline I found myself riding very fast on the closed roads with minimal effort. Only a direct comparision with other sports tourers will confirm this, but i don't believe they can compete.
At thickover the V4 is beautifully smooth and pulls cleanly and rapidly through the rev range, apart from a slight flatspot at about 3500rpm. The engine makes a mellow drone, and gets louder at 7500rpm as the butterfly velve in the upper exhaust pipe opens up. This same valve pops open on startup to give a little flare of revs before closing again.
