My thoughts from the saddle: The bike was fairly large for me -- I was between the balls of my feet and my tiptoes, and the stock reach to the bars was too long (check out how my wrists are bent in the picture -- bar risers would fix this). When I put my knees in place, they were very comfortable, which isn't usually the case for me with large bikes, so that's a definite plus. The bike seemed very light, but the sales rep admitted that the bike in question was a "pre-production" model and didn't have all of its components. He insinuated that these pieces were cosmetic things like grab rails, but I'm still suspending judgement on the lightness of the bike until I sit on one in a dealership.

Peter's thoughts from the saddle: He didn't like the stock seat; his first comment was that he'd immediately buy a Corbin. His current bike has a Corbin, though, so perhaps he's just spoiled. :) On the other end of the height spectrum, Peter found the VFR to be a bit small for him -- he'd want to rotate the bars out a little more to give him more reach. He didn't complain that his knees didn't fit into the tank molding lines, though (a common complaint for him, just as it is for me), so I'm taking that to mean that his legs were comfortable as well. His only other comment besides incoherent drooling was that the plastic cowling over the pillion seat looked a little cheesy.
