Well, I’m off to see the new VFR1200F. Tonight at 1830 the new bike gets its official launch at SCM at Lane Cove. The muttering rotters will get their turn today in the Hunter Valley as the media launch takes place at the Hunter Valley Gardens in Pokolbin. Then, tonight, it’s the turn of the plebs.
Trevor Hedge from mcnews.com.au is currently riding one around Australia and has some interesting feedback so far, mainly centred around some throttle lag caused (he believes) by the FBW throttle. No doubt it will be sorted long before I get to throw a leg over one.
Anyway, it should be fun and a few mates from some of the motorcycle forums I inhabit will be there as well so it will be a good chance to renew acquaintances.
By the way, you can follow Trevor’s progress around Australia on his Facebook page.
