You seem to forget that the value of the pound has gone down the drain.

In Euro standards this is a good price a cbf1000 cost 9900 Euro

Good luck with that Honda...as well as being hideous it looks like the VFR is going to be one expensive bike. The way things are going the pound could soon be worth less than an acorn, which will make things look even worse in £ terms.

The positive is that there might be a good opportunity for Triumph here - if they can improve the build quality of the Sprint I'm sure they'll sign up plenty of VFR riders who can't/won't stomach the new VFR's salty price tag.

I have the pre V Tec VFR and love it and I liked the look of this one apart from the silencer BUT the price tag makes it a definate no no. I use mine for touring so would want luggage and some of the extras with cruise control if they do it. The price tag for those extra bits would make it more like £16-£17000??? just way to much.

well at least the crap price matches the looks of the bike ! It's the worst looking thing I've ever seen and as for the price HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

yeah good luck with that Honda

 I own a VFR V tec, I defenently will not be looking to replace it with the over priced new one or any other HONDA IN THAT FACT. Had to take the old one to a garage to replace head light bulb, as I could't get in to replace it my self. So at £15k does that get you your own personal fixer, if a bulb goes??

I always thought that motorbikes where a poor mans choice of transport ( so ma da say's ) You just look at the prices of the new bikes coming out they all seem to be around the £10k mark. for that money you could by a decent car.
