Hi all. Pick mine up tomorrow.

[switchback]

Considering the good press on the VFR what were your impressions? I agree with you by the way, nothing like an Adv tourer.

Enjoy the happy day Paul!!!!! Congrats!!!

Well, it sounds like Paul has picked up his bike and will never be heard from again.

He's probably somewhere in the Scottish Highlands by now, listening to bagpipe music, drinking the local stuff and trying to pry the smile off his ugly mug.

Wherever you are, Paul, don't come back. Just keep riding, Bro! We're with you.

You couldn't hear a dump truck going through a nitroglycerin factory!

She's a beaut, Clark...er, Paul. (hopefully somebody gets that reference. )

Tomorrow is a happy day for you for sure. Congrats and enjoy that first ride home, there's nothing like it.

I enjoyed my 12 months with the VFR, but coming from a series of big tanked adv bikes, the 140 mile range began to grate. I was going to hang on for the Honda Crosstour, but by all accounts it is a 2013 model year release. After the S10 demo, i just couldn't wait any longer.

I'll post my impressions of the new bike over in general postings. Only a few hours left now..

Hi looks just like the one I had a test ride on. It's lovely colour. I can now happily say that I 'pick mine up tomorrow' now too. Although I went for a blue 2010 launch edition which has the accessories included. My local dealer still had it in stock.

Welome to the fold CraigM .... you'll be happy with that. Don't tell these guys that the dealer had one in stock. They're all a bit touchy at the moment. Something to do with delayed deliveries :

:-\ Thanks. Yes I've noticed that. I guess we are a bit lucky over here (or maybe it the recent prices!!? :-X )

I'm looking forward to being able to post some 'post purchase' reports though...

Craig, congrats, and definitely post up your travels and experiences.

Well done that man. I'm just coming up to 1000 miles on mine and it's a wonderful, easy to use bike. There are times when i have missed the 160 odd bhp of the VFR1200, but not having to worry about fuel every 130 miles has made up for it. I look forward to every day i get chance to take the ten out. Congrats.

Welcome CraigM and congrats on a good color (colour) choice!!! Wish we could be saying the same about picking ours up, but the best things are worth waiting for!

I look forward to...being able to say that.
