I went from the VFR 8 to the ST and I think they are both wonderful
machines. I guess the fact that the VFR was replaced by an ST shows a
lot. But, the Honda was a great machine if you rode it a gear down from
where you'd ride the sprint. 2-up was another story as the torque is more
of a factor. In short, if you ride in "race mode" (high revs, on the boil
most of the time) the VFR is a sweet machine. Very smooth, very refined -
but it's not an ST ;-)

I drive a Vtec Prelude when I'm not on the Sprint so I think I'll just
shut up now ......
