I checked out some VFR800's and I've tentatively picked up a 2009 black & white VFR800 which I'll hopefully be picking up in 2 weeks. I'm not a small guy, I'm about 210lbs at 5'10" right now, and the VFR just fits like a good pair of pants. Thanks again for the suggestions, I'll keep everyone posted when I pick it up

I picked up the VFR800 yesterday and did about 300km on it, honestly I haven't had a bike fit me so well in terms of ergos and my riding style. The V-Tec wasn't intrusive at all and it had more than enough power to keep me busy. Thanks for the suggestions!

How much you paid for it? How many litres tank? How many kilometers will it run on a full tank of gas?

My 2000 can get 350k or so to a tank, maybe more if you REALLY baby it.

I paid 8k for it, it was all stock except a fender eliminator and tank pad with 13k kilometers on it. it was mint and well maintained (still had the factory warning stickers on it), and most importantly its the exact color scheme I wanted

I drove it back from Kingston yesterday on a little less than a full tank and I was being pretty liberal with the throttle, so 300+ km per tank seems attainable
