As I'm a street rider, even moreso as I'm ageing...outright top speed, power are meaningless considerations to ongoing ownership. If so, I'd have transitioned to any number of big bore 4 banger HonZuKawi options. No thanky.

Fully respect your considerations of ultra rare, collectible, lightweight smokers.

Your comments on "THE" V4 right on the mark. Its the late 90's, pre-cat, gear driven cam, FI model....if only Honda could have trimmed the weight down. Honda came real close...but again, a nod to Ducati on the "total package".

Ducati gets key for the twisty, sporty stuff.
But when longer highway drones are called for...the VFR lights up. They perfectly compliment one another.


Thank you for comments on my choices, you are *right there* as well with mature, well thought out, potent examples in your group. Please DO post up when further additions/changes occur!
